Re: Ca, Re-issuing Black Plates

[302Z]

Has anyone that had thier black plates reassigned received anything back in the mail from DMV yet?? I had mine reassigned the 1st week of July, and received a pink window tag that expires the end of this month. As of today, no paperwork from DMV with a registration card of anything....

[Z28DL]

I did my plates on the second day and still have not received the tags. I have a number of freinds that did their plates with in the first/second week and have not received anything. If anyone receives their tags please post on the site.
Thanks,

I read on another site that the DMV is WAY behind on the new YOM program.

Got 2 more to add to the mix :

124379L510865

Cal Black Plates : XTY 659
12-06-1968 Sale

69 12437 LOS198064
723 65 V483

Kinda hard to guess the build date without having more trim Tag info from this one.
Need more VINs to compare to but I assume this is a last week OCT build date.

Next car :

1969 Camaro 124379L500xxx

09A on the trim tag

Cal Black Plates XOL 721

Appears that there are 10,000 VINs between "O" & "T" if you are following just GM thru Van Nuys.
Maybe every 2500 VINs changed Alpha in the timeline....all just a guess here but something to follow if you are trying to look for a specific Black Plate to build time for your car.

Hope this is helpful.



Add Info :
I just did some calculations, and as we all know, there were alot of cars sold in California in 1969.
As I was calculating out the movement of Alpha used, "Y" thru "Z" was really moving along at almost twice or more thru the 1969 year as plates were assigned to ALL cars in this state.

Here's a weird one on ebay. An 02C car with a WCR plate. That should be a 68 car. Link: 69 Z/28

That is unusual.

WCR 473

That car is VIN'd and Built way later than what that Black Plate should be to it.

Only thing that I could assume would be that it was tagged at a Calif DMV that had those plates sitting or were returned, never used, and assigned to this car.

"Car is currently registered in California and I have a clear California title in my name"

And along with his white reflectorized plates he will throw in the perfectly aged patina one's that are staged on the car. Nice try, and if not in the system they theoretically could be assigned..but this alpha sequence was initially issued to some vehicle around a year before this Z was built.

I received my registration and 2010 tags for my reassigned black plates yesterday. I had the plates assigned at the Concord DMV on July 1st.

[69SSZL1]

I have read of 1 other person getting their tags, looks like we are on the way. Do you have standard month and year stickers? did you get a metal add-on tag extension?

[LS7]

Yes, the registration came with the standard month & date stickers and two metal plates.
