Just a FYI for those in Calfornia. Saw an article today in the Fresno Bee on Page A19 stating January 1, 2013 the California DMV is planning to issue nostalgia-stoking replicas of the yellow, blue and black plates from the 1950's to 1970's. The article also states that in order for the DMV to print the plates there will need to be at least 7,500 ordered by January 1, 2015.
