California 1960s legacy plates are available.

If you order the sequential plates, they are 6 digits and typically in the format of x123x4

Why is everyone always worried about what Californians do

Custom plates are sometimes cute, but cost more each year in car taxes in California.

I believe in paying as little tax as possible.

Registration (car tax) for my Lotus was $800/year in California with standard plate. Don't miss that. Now $35 for 2 years in Idaho.

i also like my plates to be as inconvenient to remember as possible. plausible deniability that another blue car did that to them!

I think my legacy plate only costs $40 extra per year. I don't mind paying that kind of fee

Granted, I chose a mature baseball word for mine.

Not, uhhh.. let's think of a couple different ones I saw today:

* "HUGSY" (on an M-car IIRC too)
* "POWRMOM" or something along those lines on an SUV

I think the black plates are cool for guys with 60's muscle cars. Before they came out, you had to find someone selling a good vintage set on eBay and pay them a fortune to transfer. However, I think the black looks out of place on a modern car. Just my opinion.

One of my favorites I saw back in the 70's was : XUSNE1

The extra cost per year is used for specific purposes based on the plate design.
