I have a very easy question: Is the correct plate for California in 1959
Yellow on Black (YOB) or Black on Yellow (BOY) ?

I have a 59 Austin Healey Sprite that came (from the last owner) with a 
YOB plate, but when I got to work on it (cover some scratches) I noticed
that it has printed a big 63 under all the yearly stickers. 

I know for sure that in 1956, the correct plate was BOY and in 1963 it was
YOB, but what happened in between ? Did all cars went through a plate change
in 1963 ?
