California Residents - DMV Offering Vintage License Plates
Sorry if this has been posted before...
For California residents looking for "vintage" license plates for any old or new vehicle, the CA DMV has a new program going...
Figured I'd post this info again since so many people have never heard about it.
I'd like a few vintage Black California plates myself.
Here is some info for those interested...
Car Owners Get A Chance At Vintage California Plates
California Legacy License Plates Available for Pre-Order January 1, 2013
Sacramento –The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced today it will be taking pre-orders for a new License Plate Program offering vehicle owners the opportunity to purchase replicas of California license plate designs issued in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's.
The new program will bring a retro look to modern license plates by offering three classic license plate designs. Legacy License plates can be ordered for any year model automobile, commercial vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer. The styles include black lettering over a yellow background seen in the 1950's, yellow lettering over a black background seen in the 1960's and yellow lettering over a blue background that was available originally in the 1970's. The plates cost $50 for non-personalized or personalized plates.

Bumping this thread.
Looks like we are getting closer. The 1960s black/gold plate has over 5700 pre-orders, but one plate needs 7500 pre-orders by Jan 1, 2015 for the entire program to be implemented.
I think any of these three options are better than the existing plate, so if you'd like to put one of these 1950s, 1960s or 1970s Cali plates on your Porsche, be sure to get your pre-order in before Jan 1, 2015.
I grew up with the 1970s blue/gold look, which I kinda miss, but I think the 1960s black/gold look would look bad *** on my 2000-era silver Porsche.

So Cali owners, if you are interested, get your pre-order in today!
