The form to use is a "Statement of Facts" it is the form they use every time
they use on of the wierd rules from the DMV code. It still needs to go to
sacramento to get approved and I was really beginging to doubt that they
would actually do it. The "Statement of Facts" has to be worded exactly as
it appears in the book I will get the information and post it to the list
next week. The DMV does not need to see your car mine was in pieces when I
went to the DMV I just brought the plates with me to show them that they
were in good condition.
If the last time your car was registered the car had the black plates on it
then you only need to renew your registration and you don't have to bother
with all this paperwork.
Good Luck

Thanks for that. I still have my black plates and was wondering how long of
an experience I was going to have at the DMV to try and keep them. Is there
a form number (there's ALWAYS a form number) for the paper you filled out?
This info would be very helpful. Also, did they have to see the car before
completing the paperwork? Mine is still body-off, but I thought I might go
down and start the registration process anyway.

Subject: Keeping Original License Plates
Hi List,
Since the subject of keeping original license plate has come a few time I
thought I would share my experience with the California DMV.
When I purchased my 65 1500 it had on it the old style black license plates,
put unfortunately in the trunk were the new white reflectorized plates. When
going to the dmw to register the car I asked to keep the Black plates and
they told me that it was not possible because it was already assigned
reflectorized plates. After 40 minutes and 3 people at the DMV I finally
filled out a statement of facts stating that the car is a collectors item
and that any thing but the original plates would devalue the car. The
statement of facts also said that I would not display the old plates until I
have recieved authorization from the DMV Headquarters in Sacramento. That
was 2 months ago.
Well today in the mail came my new registration with the correct license
number for the orignal black plates.
