What is the significance of a "California black plate" car? People talk
about them as if they are somthing special. Thanks, JL
The old license plates in California were black before the were blue (yellow
before black), before they were white. Very few people kept the black plates,
changing them for blue of later the white ones. The fact that the car has
the original black plates on it tends to show it has been in service since then
and is a period "accessory."
