I know the topic of "original California black plate" cars has come up several times here.
"The black license plates used on California cars from 1963 to 1969 are back, thanks to a piece of legislation sponsored by Los Angeles Assemblyman Mike Gatto and 7,500 paying customers..
The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Monday that it has received 7,500 orders for the classic black plates -- which is the minimum required for the state agency to begin production.
Gatto's AB 1658, introduced in 2012, created the California Legacy License Plate Program. The DMV will begin production now. Motorists who've placed orders for the iconic plates will begin receiving them in two to three weeks, Gatto's office said.
The new plates, which will cost $45, can be ordered by anyone, regardless of a car's age. Black plates can be personalized, like other plates, and plates will also be available for motorcycles."

Location: bishop, ca | Yeah, but, there were not enough requests/applications for the "blue/yellow" license plates in order
to permit the DMV to re-issue them...
Horrie's first CA plates were when the blue/yellows were being issued.
But, there are companies that re-pop license plates, nowadays.
I've got an aged original blue/yellow plate (in addition to a re-popped one) that features 24+ annual stickers on it.
I probably should send them out, for restoration, now that brand-new replacement ones are N/A.
