Re: Ca, Re-issuing Black Plates

[Late BrakeU2]

Based on the list including only date of sale cars you can fine tune the chronology.



XFM 863 ... 12A build 12/19/68 SOLD, 124379L511946

XMG 755 ... 10C VN built, sold 11/30/68
XON 123 ... May 2, 1968
XTY 659 ... 12-06-1968 Sold, 124379L510865


YOW 597 ... 12/23/68, 124379Lxxxx
YXB 405 ... 4/4/69
YZN 712 ... 4/xx/69
* YZU 123 ... 04B built, sold 6-6-69

* From this very late Y suffix you could guesstimate the Z intro was July..




ZQY 367 ... 9/15/69

ZVM 073 ... 7/xx/69
ZVX 549 ... 10/9/69
* ZZA 219 ... 5/01/70 (?)

* This last one is very near the end run,but with Joe's Nova being ZVM and sold 7/69, 5/70 seems out of order- unless it was a plate issued from a branch for a lost or stolen replacement.. local offices held older stock for months later. Whether or not DMV went all the way to ZZZ 999 with blues already well into circulation is open for debate. I know when the state did the wholesale switch from yellow to black in 62 i'm fairly certain there weren't any Z suffix yellow base issued- they stopped at Y. JMHO
