Harrell Camaro

[Chuck Norton]

Belair 62,

Your recollection is accurate. Cars licensed in California in 1969 may have had either the black plates or the new blue ones. The changeover came rather late in the year. One '69 I owned was tagged ZLP ### in black plates indicating that the cycle of available combinations was nearly exhausted. Conversely, one '69 Camaro that passed through my hands a few years ago had blue plates beginning with ### A?? . Note that the black plates had the alpha preceding the numeric and the order was reversed on blue plates.
