I have the original 1967 California black plates with yellow characters. I'd like to repace them. I searched and found licenseplates.tv has them for $75. Anyone know of a cheaper place or a place that will restore the originals?

Why can't you just order custom plates using the same number as your original plates? Then just install the originals instead of the new ones they send you?

I wouldnt mind having original(or original style) paltes on my car. That brings up the question: What color plates were correct for my '68? Were they black w/yellow or blue/yellow? I've been told the switch happened around then.
I was just going to find a good clean pair of the fully embossed(even "California", not the funky print) and just paint them in the old colors. Its illegal, but hey.
