The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced that beginning New Year’s Day, owners of classics can go online to apply for one of the DMV’s new California Legacy Plates. They’re era-correct, which specifically means a yellow plate with black characters for the 1950s, a black plate with yellow characters for the 1960s and a deep blue plate with yellow characters for the 1970s. Early last year, assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) proposed the bill (AB 1658) that would create the Legacy Plate program if at least 7,500 applications for the plates are received over the next two years. The bill passed in August.
Cost is $50, either personalized or non-personalized. To order the plates, visit www.DMV.CA.gov
