[Healeys] FW: California Retro License Plates

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

John:  I am sure that original plates are allowed in California.  I believe 
that I have provided the reference in the California Vehicle Code in 
previous e-mails.  There is a gentleman that shows up at local swap meets 
with lots of them.  The problem is that they must be original plates along 
with any (metal) "year" tags that were applicable.  The article in the 
Sacramento Bee that was mentioned also noted that "..The law was pushed by 
car club members who wanted vintage plates on their vintage cars - and have 
been victimized in the past by unscrupulous people claiming to sell them 
real vintage plates, only to discover they were forgeries...".
