[Healeys] CA black plates and registration decals

[Curt/Nancy Arndt]

Bob,

I have them new from about '68 to '78.  The owner registered the car every
year, but since the Healey was not running and off the road he never put the
stickes on, so they all came with the car when I purchased it from the DPO.
Not that uncommon.

Cheers,

Curt
