License plate page

I won't have mine for about 12-16 weeks, but that's ok because I won't have my car for a lot longer than that (Just ordered).

I got two plates and will choose which to employ when I get the car.

The first reads "Nachbau", German (m) for Replica/Duplicate/Remake.
The second reads "Kopie", German (f) for Copy/Remake/Replica.

Hey Oregon guys, have you met this person on the road???

Hoss,

Not me, but from the plate bracket it is from up around Portland. Maybe Scott has, think I'd give that rig a wide berth.

PMS 24-7 should be on my ex's car........ ummmmm I mean broom!

What my license would be if I would live in the States...

I've used Mike McSween picture for the transformation, I hope you don't mind...

Anyway for the moment I have a provisional one until I get the definitive.

It's my "baby-car".

With thanks to Bill Steele for the original suggestion...

I haven't seen so many rear ends & license plates since I was in prison! Please no one post any pictures of the showers!

David,

If you had a "view" of the rear-ends in prison, you must have been in the slightly more enviable position, so to speak...

Sorry, but much like a NASCAR driver, when I see an opening I have to take it...

Re. the previous post: Eeeewwww! Very punny...

There is no such thing as an enviable position in the big house, especially when you share a cell with a guy named Tyrone & he keeps talking about tossing salad!

GR8PL8S, guys, but who makes the California yellow plates with the black lettering? I want to get the personalized plates first, then have them made in the late '50s California yellow colors ...Mike McSween (FEIN356) had some metal "ears" above the his plate for the month and year. So.....Mike....can you fill me (us) in?

The yellow plates can be used on corresponding year of manufacture cars only. You can still find available new YOM plates for pre-62 cars, but you have to go through one of the guys that sell them (you'll need 2). I bought a set for my buddy's 58 MGA and when I went to the DMV, they actually weighed the plates to verify they are real.

Some guys are running with replica plates, however using a personalized plate is an easy tip-off to a smart CHP cop since the DMV had few exceptions pre-1968 (the blue plates w/yellow letters)-- ham radio callsigns, some simple letter-number combos, never more that 3 digits & 3 letters. Go to www.calpl8s.com, it is a great informative site.

HEY! My license plate forum subject is still going! I think it may a site record for longest forum subject run!

Hey...gotta plate for that, too: PL8 4UM.

There are plates listed on E-Bay, but a few questions remain:

1. Even though I plan to attach only a rear plate, is it wise to purchase two plates, in case CHP were to demand to see a second plate if stopped for not having a front plate?
2. How does one attach the month/year stickers to yellow plates? Are the rabbit ears I saw earlier on this page legal?
3. Does DMV have an extra yearly charge for use of the old yellow plates, such as they would charge for personalized ones? I
have no problem paying it, but just curious.

Enough rear views !

Barry: go to Calpl8s.com. It tells you everything you need to know about California yellow (YOM) plates.
