California Legacy Plates
For people in California, you can now replace your boring white plates w/ these new "legacy plates" ... which are black, blue, or yellow in color! Pre-orders begin now, and they will produce them after they get 7,500 orders.
I'm putting in my pre-order for a Black plate tomorrow

Legislation introduced the California Legacy License Plate program offering vehicle owners the opportunity to purchase replicas of California license plates similar to those issued in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. The program requires a minimum of 7,500 pre-paid applications prior to January 1, 2015.
Legacy License plates can be ordered for any year model automobile, commercial vehicle, motorcycle, or trailer. The Legacy License Plate Program will not replace the current Year of Manufacture (YOM) license plate program.
The DMV is accepting pre-orders until January 1, 2015. A pre-order form California Legacy License Plate Pre-Order Form (REG 17L) (PDF) is available for these plates. The completed form and $50 payment must be mailed to the address provided on the form. Payment can only be made by check, money order, or cashier’s check made payable to Department of Motor Vehicles. Pre-orders will NOT be processed at DMV Field offices or Auto Club offices.

Finally! Something to take away from the white plates we currently have. I always wanted to rock the blue/yellow plates my parents had on their rides in the 70s, but now that there's a black/yellow option, I'm going with that one. I like that it'll blend in much better with certain car colors.
I'm with you PureDrifter. The only thing holding me back is if it'll be a recurring cost, but when I went to the actual order page, there's an option for you to keep your current plate number and have it transferred to the new plate style.

THANK GOD! I've been wanting them to do something like this for a while. This is a perfect opportunity too for a new vehicle we are getting soon.
My Cressida had the Blue plates and I loved them. Thankfully I kept them.

In the LA Times article dated 12-29-12, it states that there is an extra $40 per year for registration with the Legacy plates.

As the article states, this will likely appeal to classic car owners.
The reason I got my two Celicas is because they still had their original Blue plates.
