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

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..

Bel Air,I stand corrected.I guess all the yellow base plates running around now are through the Cal DMV YOM(year of manufacture program)They aren't currently offering that for the black base-and don't plan it anytime soon from what I've heard.I know that commercial black plates were not uncommon on even 71 trucks though.

I grew up a few blocks away from Baher,it used to Be H.E. Baher Chevy in Hermosa Beach(Dick Guldstrand used to sell cars there before he left to drive for Penske) than he moved the dealership to Northridge in the late sixties.It was Competition for about ten years in the mid eighties and has been in the Rydell group for about the last ten.

Cool Mark...I think this car was a dealer trade somehow....not sure if it went from Baher to Jack Head or vice versa,,,

I heard that some California folks are ordering current personal plates with their black plate number then putting the black plate on the car instead of the personal plate.
They would be the identical number.
