thanks for your responses guys! i'll try calling the DMV, but i doubt they'd just say yes... in the 60's, california cars had black plates with yellow lettering. i've tinted my windows, smoked head and tail lights, and painted window trim. the only light things on my car are the kidneys and the license plate... well looks like i'm going to buy one, and hope the DMV says yes
my shop makes plates for moives. we have a full time guy who has been dong it for 10yrs...i guess we could use your real number
not sure how legal it is
In California this is a common deal for the street rod guys. You can take an old plate and have it issued as a "personlized or special interest plate". As long as the number of the plate isn't being used and any black plates you find probably won't be. Duh! You will pay an extra fee each year and a one time fee. There are at least a couple of places that sell new replacement plates in the old colors. I have seen both the black / yellow and the blue / yellow plates with 7 characters. They only came with 6 characters so they were custom plates. I assume they were legal, but I'm not a lawyer.
I just did a little research and it looks like the custom replacement plates are now allowed 9 characters and spaces in California. I will check with the DMV next week, but if this is the new deal it's very cool. The first plate vendor I found online show the samples - http://www.cr8apl8.com/index.html
Maybe you can paint your plate black and yellow and not have a problem.
