Finding and purchasing the CA black and yellow plates is easy, there are always vendors selling them for a couple hundred bucks +/-. However, I'm curious if I/we can legally operate our cars in CA with them installed. Although I do really like my personalized plates too.

As far as I can tell, it's not legal to put vintage (period correct) plates on a SPCNS vehicle. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you walked into to a DMV office and they allowed it. The other variable, is if your title states that the car is a 1965 Cobra, then they may not question it all.

When I get around to doing a personalized plate, I might go for the Black/Yellow repros and take my chances with the Federales.

You've always reminded me of Marlon Brando in "The Wild One."

Can you imagine bringing in some old CA black and yellow plates and trying to get the DMV to assign them to you car?

I'll let you go first Doug. I'm right behind you. You pave the way.

Ricardo is the man...he's going to blaze the trail.

Me, I'm staying away from the DMV for as long as possible.

Again, personalized plates were easy for me. Order online and then 3 months later , you go and pick them up. No fuss.
