Retro Calif. License Plates Returning To The Road

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — California's classic black and yellow license plates are making a comeback thanks to a local assemblyman.

Rep. Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) gathered the 7,500 applications need to launch the return of the plates in record time.

The plates were first issued to California vehicles from 1963 to 1969.

As part of the Legacy License Plate Program, yellow plates with black lettering and blue plates with yellow lettering will also be available.

So far, only the black and yellow plates have reached the 7,500 pre-order requirement for production.

Applications can be found on the DMV website.
