Re: Ca, Re-issuing Black Plates
 

Went to DMV today to have my plates re issued. For those who would like to know what to bring in order to be prepared here is what I went through .

A) Bring in both plates that you are going to have re-issued
B) Make sure one has the model year of your car reg sticker showing . In my case 1969 ( I may be able to help if someone needs one)
C) If existing plates on car are generic bring them in too. If they are personalized then you can keep those
D) Bring in current insurance on vehicle
C) Bring in current registration
E) They want a Xerox copy of the plate so if you can do that yourself or scan it and print this will also save you some time. Took the clerk 10 min and 8 copies to get one she liked. She came back and went through all 8 copies.
F) Don’t forget your drivers license. I saw a few people not be able to produce their license when asked.

Here are the forms you will need . Form REG352 is the YOM application . You will also use this same form , but a separate copy, for a “ Release of Interest” from the previous plate owner if the plates are not cleared or out of the DMV system.

I was also requested to fill out a “ Statement of Facts” DMV form REG256 .

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg256.pdf

I filled out the top of the backside of the form with my current Lic plate number , VIN and year and make info then used the section G on the backside and typed the following . Signed the bottom , section H .

“ I would like to re assign plate ###### to my 1969 Camaro . The plate is a black and yellow California plate that is period correct for my car . “


Being DMV these procedures may differ. The DMV clerk sitting next to the lady helping me looked at me and shook his head as if to say , “ why is she making that so hard? She doesn’t know what she is doing” . So be prepared

Man, I sure don't miss the CA DMV, not to mention their fees!

Re: Ca, Re-issuing Black Plates
 

Does anyone have a 68 sticker I could buy? I have the plates but took off all the stickers some time ago.

Re: Ca, Re-issuing Black Plates
 

There are plenty on ebay, prices are based on condition. They peel these off from old plates, these license plate dealers have been waiting a long time for this! Ebay tags

I went to the DMV in West Covina, CA this morning to get the Black plates reassigned to my 69 Z. The plates were the ones that were on the car when I pulled it from a backyard in West Covina, CA 10 years ago. They didnt seem to be concerned with the sequential issue of plates, in that plates with the letter sequence starting with the letters X, Y, and Z were correct for a 1969 year model car. They were only concerned with the condition of the plates and that the approriate year registration sticker was present.

Trying to JOG my memory here...

As I recall, Black Plates in California for the Year 1969 started in the "X - - 123" ( <---EXAMPLE) alpha timeline.

Ill have to go take a look again at my friend's August 1968 VN Z28 and reread his plates again but he started his titling here in California back in September, 1968 for his car and his start with the " X " alpha.

" Y " alpha beginnings were around October/November 1968. I do not recall when they ended.

" Z " alpha started I think in around April/May 1969.

My PaceCar sat for a while before it was sold new and it came with Blue California plates. I think it was around January, 1970 that it sold and titled and received the Blue.
Those Plates started with the numerals followed by an " A " alpha. (Example : 123 Axx )

The Z plates may have started earlier than what I have posted.

For what it's worth. I was released from active duty from the Navy May 4 1970.
I moved up to Ingelwood near LAX and sometime that first few weeks of May I got Cali plates on my car, ZZA 219. Does that sound about right ? When were the last black plates used up ?
