Judging from those license plates,either the car and or the tags were stolen in 1963-a beauty though.

Yeah...the license plates don't match the registration or the cool key fobs...

The car look's fantastic, changes, and all, New owner can get it back to his liken, as many of us have done, and will do to the cars we have now, or in the future. Just wish mine had been in that good of shape to ''Start'' with....Kasey...

Note the 1967 registration, still in the original owner's name, with the 'AUR710' plate number on it. There is probably some reasonable explanation why the original yellow with black numbers plates would have been replaced with the newer black with yellow numbers plates

You guys are a tough crowd

I am pretty sure that all cars with yellow CA '56-'63 plates had to convert to the new black '63 CA plates when they were introduced. In '70 when the new blue plates came out that requirement was dropped.

So, in 1963 this car would have given up its original yellow plates for black plates.

I was thinking the same thing about surrendering the prior plates. Being that the black plates on this car begin with "AUR", these would have been issued in 1963. The "A's" are all 1963 issue.

You guys are correct...the golds were given up for 63 black plates which then stayed with the car forever..Gold plates are getting hard to find and bring a few bucks now...and 69 was changeover from black to blue ...some got black..usually very very high in the alphabet and some got blues..
