[Healeys] FW: California Retro License Plates

[John Sims]

Yes. The recently announced legislation in California is for "a series of
three specialized license plates that replicate plates from California's
past." Not to be confused with the current program in California where a
legitimate "old" plate can be used. Links, etc. will be on my site in a day
or two.

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...".
