In the 1980's, California went to white license plates with seven blue digits, like "RGRP911". So someone out there is back-dating license plates. Which is very cool if the CHP doesn't have a problem with it.

Why would the authorities care? As long as the license number matches the registration and is current, it shouldn't matter.
Cain? Add my thanks to the list...great pics! :D
Backdated plates look cool, whether black w/ yellow ('63-'69) or yellow w/ black ('56-62) letters & numbers... but *if* you get any CHP/LAPD/PO on a *bad* day, they'll write you up for *tampering/altering* a license plate. Won't matter if it is an environmental/personal plate or regular issue plate. Someone I worked with was written up for changing a regular issue, white reflectorized w/ blue plate. All he did was paint the blue numbers/letters to black (didn't touch the white reflectorized part).
I know of alot of guys who run backdated/altered (environmental) plates, because it looks 'period correct'... just don't get stopped for doing something stupid. JMO, but I think that the reason that the newer CA plates have 'California' in script is to prevent/reduce backdating plates... or the DMV is suddenly concerned with 'style'.... ;-)
But there's just one thing missing ....
Where's that goofy kid with the white 914-6? :confused:
