And what I am saying is that as a cop contemporary to the issue, there was nothing in the California Vehicle Code and nothing from CHP instructors in 1963 (the vehicle code at that time did not change for two years).  The Vehicle Code at that time requires that registration certificates carry the "year", and that year was determined by the year the vehicle was first sold.  Having just checked the darkened pages of the California Vehicle Code issued to me so long ago, there is no provision for the Department of Motor Vehicles attaching any numbers to a vehicle.  Section 10750 specifically states, "This section does not prohibit...nor prevent the *manufacturer* from placing in the ordinary course of business numbers or marks upon a new motor vehicle or parts thereof."  
As an historian, as a newspaperman, and as a cop, I would have to EVIDENCE proving the California Vehicle Code wrong.  Simple as that.  Can anyone offer ANY evidence?
