* 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

In re: to my old plate ZZA 219 ( go back and read post #412923 - 07/28/09 on pg.5 )
From what I recall the DMV branch I went to seemed like a small neighbrhood operation ? Keep in mind this was not a new car issure, and I most definetly got it after the May 1 1970 date.
Could that plate have been sitting for some time on the shelf ?
Neat thread.

That we can all guess is plausible...

How rural an area was this ?

I would not call it rural, it was somewhere close by to Inglewood. Heck that was along time ago.

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.

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 · #**106** 09-25-2009, 01:29 AM

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

I received my registration, decals, and metal plates in the mail today. My trip to DMV was on July 6th. I sure hope that there is a way to avoid using the metal tabs that were sent to me!!!

http://www.oldpl8s.com/tab-dmv.jpg On the the attached webpage, there is a photo of two aluminum tabs that DMV is sending out with the registration and stickers. They dont fit the corners of the plates, and will look pretty funky bolted on the car with the plates. I take it they dont want new registration stickers installed over the YOM registration sticker that we had to have to get the plates assigned in the first place??!!

What do the instructions say to do on the tag wrappers?
