I've read the new Black and Yellow plates are reflectorized. I'm not sure how vintage they will look, but like the idea a lot. Anybody seen the final product yet?

Kit, you never should have sold that nice 260 car. It would look good today cruising La Jolla Blvd.

I lived in a beach house at 274 Coast Blvd. back in the 60s and parked that
260 right on the street most of the time! Cruising La Jolla Blvd. and on up
to NAS Miramar was my norm for many years. I did it again this past Nov.
when I came down from the Bay Area to by my ERA from Mike Chase in San
Diego...do you know him? |

No, have never met Mike. But call next time you're in La Jolla, and we can swap lies over a sandwich, OK?

No one eats bread anymore. Paleo is the way to go. I'm told even In-N-Out burger serves their burgers on just lettuce.  |

She also confirmed that they will send them to my local Auto Club for pickup, so no trip to DMV for me.

You should get the Book "The In-N-Out Story" and learn all the secret codes! It's a good quick read if you're on a plane and a good story about the Snyder family that started it. They used to own Lions Drag Strip in Irwindale, CA. There is a whole special language that my kids taught me when ordering.

"HMS" also equals "Her Majesties Service", which I think is for big British boats.

A yup. You got the same notice that I did. That means our orders are headed to Folsom or San Quentin to be produced by some fine young men the same way that Shelby used to have some of his frames welded up!

Saw a new black/yellow sequential plate on a Cobra yesterday. The plate was six digits but not 3 and 3 - it was an odd configuration that I promptly forgot. The font is very similar to the original but appeared more slender, presumably to allow for 7 digits. While I rubbed the upper right label box searching for an indented "63", I did not feel such an indentation. It was daytime so I can't comment about the reflectorized yellow but the color pretty much matches the original. My guess is that the plate was aluminium, not the original steel.
Randy, I believe Rodney provided the answer but yes you can order the personalized sequence you already have - the form is just a little tricky.
I too received the 8-12 week notice and had initially advised of my preferred DMV office for pick up. Oh what fun, no doubt gonna have to make an appointment to pick up the plates (and given them the old white ones).

This is my ideal vintage plate:
Don't bother asking. It's not.

No, Mike McCluskey says I am next in the paint booth. Luis did not make it either. I estimate first week in November. The car is totally stripped so much reassembly required. Thanks for asking.
Cheers

A long painful process, but it will be worth it!
