actually I have done it with two cars.
First you need to fill out one of their forms requesting you keep the
original plate. You must also show that you have some original evidence
that the plate was originally assigned to the car (ie. old registrations
or work orders from mechanics). It will also be helpful to find a person
behind the counter who might be sympathetic to your cause
you can also contact:
DMV Special Processing unit
2415 First Ave

I was working with a lady named Irene, of course this was 5 years
ago. The last time I re-registered my Tiger was Oct 2000 and I had
numerous old registrations.
Hope this helps
