Title: new license plate
Post by: lurtch on November 05, 2015, 03:32:51: Hi all - -

Just had to post this. California plates had yellow letters on black background from 1963 to 1969. They are now available from CA DMV.

Since my cars live in California, I've ordered a set about 5 weeks ago for the one that does not have California Black Plates. If approved, they should be ready in about 6 weeks. We will see.

I have ordered a set for our '15 C300 with the same letter/number sequence (plus an additional "1" at the end) as our SL's original plates. Only live about 20 miles from Folsom Prison (where the plates are stamped) so hope my wait won't be too much longer :D

If you don't mind me asking of course....

Hi Larry,
it says-it-all, but what happened to the old one?

Post by: kampala on April 14, 2016, 00:39:39: I had to come back to California this week and timed it just right as the Black Plates I had ordered were finally ready. These will go on the 280 as the 250 already has black plates. Was quite surprised to find that "pagode" was available in California.

Post by: Jonny B on April 14, 2016, 22:46:54: Most excellent!! I checked a while back (don't remember how long) and they were not available. I wasn't interested but I was just curious, I checked PAGODA and (at the time) it was not available.
