Spreading the Word: CA Legacy Plates

[NGC224]

Spreading the word on DMV's Legacy Plates Program: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/legacyplates/index.htm

Just put in my application for the 60's black plate to compliment my '14 Q5 TDI in Brilliant Black and eager for this program to get started. A novel idea for those of us who are working on the most ninja, blacked-out look as possible. Once any of the the Approved Application numbers hit 7500, DMV will start production!

Also applicable for those who have a yellow or blue car to match.... maybe.

Help spread the word to those who may be interested!

[Thunderiff]

I put my app few months back. just waiting, hope it hits the 7500 mark. mines in black with yellow lettering to match my all black coupe. nice you blacked out your car.

[NGC224]

Great to hear, Thunderiff--thanks for the support!

[AudiB5owner]

Thanks for posting this, pretty interested in the black on yellow plates I think they'll look better than the white plates. One downside is that I cannot imagine how the reflective properties will look on a black plate.

[NGC224]

Monthly update:
50's (yellow w/ black lettering) - 1546 orders
60's (black w/ yellow lettering) - 5720 orders
70's (blue w/ yellow lettering) - 1180 orders

Only 1780 to go for the program to kick off! [race]

[Digglo]

If I have vanity plates how will this work?

[NGC224]

There is a special check box for you on the Pre-Order Form (REG 17L) in Section 3 "Converting from existing personalized plate".
To my understanding, it would be as if you wanted "DIGGLO" from a current plate transferred to "DIGGLO" on, say, a black w/ yellow lettering plate.

This may also apply to you (from the FAQs):
Q24: Can I order a different style of personalized plate with the configuration I want, and then convert the number to Legacy License Plates if the program is implemented?
A: Yes.
However, this will not be considered an exchange and the fee for each type of plate will be due when you order them. To view the fees for other types of special plates, go the Special Interest or Personalized Plates section on DMV's website: www.dmv.ca.gov.

[Digglo]

Thanks for the info! placing order now for Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow #wizvoice

[TsmithA4]

Definitely thanks for the info!!! Putting in this week

come on people...get your black plate orders in!! :)

[NGC224]

To chronicle the process...
-Submitted my application w/ pre-order payment (via snail mail) on 12/13/13.
-DMV cashed the check 01/07/14.
-According to the FAQs, when your check is cashed, your application has been received and approved. So far, it looks to be around 1 month's time for the DMV to approve our applications.

For those who have had their check cashed, take a look at the BACK check image posted to your bank account--if you have that option. There should be a notation of one of your personalized plate choices; I suspect this to be the approved plate choice. I found this out searching the front and back check images for clues, and what they wrote on the back of my check happened to be my first choice. *fist pump*

[NGC224]

Monthly update:
50's (yellow w/ black lettering) - 1604 orders
60's (black w/ yellow lettering) - 6176 orders
70's (blue w/ yellow lettering) - 1257 orders

Getting closer! [drive]

I know..this better happen!!! so many people in Cali...I can't believe the black plate hasn't hit the 7500 mark yet!

[Thunderiff]

looks like we hit the mark according to the update.

[singleframe]

my bad thought the count was 7500 for the total of plates. did not really pay attention to the particular numbers of the 3 kinds of plates' count requirement. lol sorry. dammit lets get it done . want my black plates lol

Right?? But it looks DMV likes to update it only once a month--usually the first couple days.

starting to think this is a scam...DMV taking our $$ and investing it somewhere. Maybe Jeffrey Skilling is behind this? Can't believe in the entire state of Cali there are only 6,458 people that want the bad-ass black plate!!?!??! WTF people. Hurry the F up!

You bet. Imagine it's a win/win for the state. If it fails you get your money back and Cali keeps the spread. If it succeeds, they keep the fees and earnings, and continue collecting annually.

It really is hard to believe that with all the car enthusiasts here this thing didn't hit the mark day one. :(

[sleepyo4]

is anyone with ibis white getting the black and yellow one? I'm debating...

[Pat_McGroin]

is anyone with ibis white getting the black and yellow one? I'm debating...

I actually thought of this too but the current plates blend pretty well. Then again, black and yellow plates might make a pretty good combo with the yellow BBK I've been considering :P

[Thunderiff]

get the black cuz black is the bomb. seriously cuz i love black. black with the yellow lettering here

[g_man]

Just ordered 2 sets of black, 1 for the BB S4 and one for the white Z4

JUST 397 TO GO.... SOOOO FREAKING CLOSE!!!!!!! [eek]

[NGC224]

Fellow friends of SoCal!!! ...the GOOD NEWS:

MONTHLY UPDATE:
50's (yellow w/ black lettering) - 1755 orders (+65 from M)
60's (black w/ yellow lettering) - 7549 orders (+446)
70's (blue w/ yellow lettering) - 1473 orders (+60)

And the bad news: It looks like CA DMV has changed some details.
Previously: "In order for the program to be implemented, at least one of the three styles must receive 7,500 orders before January 1, 2015." [up]
Now: "Only the plate or plates that reach 7,500 orders before January 1, 2015 will be implemented." [>_>]

Extremely disappointing... I'll leave it at that.

On a lighter note, thanks for everyone's support; I can't wait to see all those black plates (especially those black on black) running around!

[RAudi Driver]

I've already seen the black plate on a Black Ferrari California. I didn't think they were available and asked the DMV person about it when I was last at the DMV and they had no answer. Looked amazing.

[Thunderiff]

yeah finally thank you. now just wait for the notice of plates are in for pick up at DMV

[singleframe]

what no way!??? when oh when will we get notice??? damm..I have a feeling it won't be until after Jan 2015 :(

[NGC224]

DMV site legacy plates FAQs: "Once the required minimum is reached, implementation of the program will go into development"
This probably is just aka 'we won't wait until 1/15/2015 to start'

Also THIS (http://blog.sfgate.com/stew/2014/06/05/classic-black-california-license-plates-are-back/) announcement looks promising.

Though the part of the article that states we "should expect them in the next few months" sounds rather ambiguous (especially in the DMV world), I'm hopeful to get them before the end of this year... In time for the holidays maybe??

[Thunderiff]

yeah hopefully within this year or early next year. waited this long so waiting months into next year won't matter. as long as they are starting.

[Pat_McGroin]

Any new updates on these plates?

[singleframe]

DMV keeps telling me 6-9 months [emoji36]

[NGC224]

Looks like DMV updated the FAQ section... with the only questions we really care about:

Q2: When should I expect to receive the 1960’s plates I have pre-ordered?
A: Expect issuance in the late spring through summer 2015. Allow additional time for personalized plates.

http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/legacyplates/faqs

[MalibuMafiaV]

fyi for all of you. I don't entirely recommend it but... I'll share my experience. I had my white CA plates painted professionally to match the CA legacy style color. Had the plates on my Maserati for 2 years. Never got a single ticket for it.

[christianb5s4]

I just submitted my pre-order, should match my Imola/black theme quite nicely.

[B72011]

Stoked that the 50's version didnt get put into production. I almost sold my 2 pairs for my '58 356. They're still worth something!

[K|G]

I've seen the 60's black plates on a few cars over the last couple weeks. Most recently I saw a Prius with them and 2015 tags so I assume they are the ones we're all waiting for.. The plate was gloss black with embossed yellow letters. It looked exactly like the pictures on the dmv page with CALIFORNIA in yellow above the plate numbers and nothing else.. I assume the black is reflective since state law requires it but I couldn't tell in the few seconds I saw the car.

Here's my personalized California Legacy Plate.

California law states that all new license plates need to be reflective. Believe it or not, the black legacy plates are reflective. This is what it looks like under flash:

Looks great, even with the flash, imo. I put the order for mine a couple of weeks ago for "Beyrut" - my hometown. I'm hoping they center it. It said it would be centered automatically on the form but I've heard a few different stories.

Once your plate is ready, they send you a letter to go to DMV and pick it up. You will surrender your old plates at the DMV at that time.

They mailed me mine. I've had them on my car for a month and I just have my old plates sitting on my desk at home. The package with the new plates didn't say anything about returning them. But I don't want to get hit with an extra registration fee or a penalty for keeping them. Guess I'll contact the DMV and confirm. Thanks.

Wow I didn't even know mailing them to your home is an option. Yeah I would contact them to make sure [emoji1417]

Mailing them directly to your home is only available if your legacy plate is not personalized. My wife's plates came directly to our house and we just threw away the white California plates. For my plates, I had them sent to a local AAA office and they handled all the paperwork. I did not have to surrender my white personalized plates to the AAA office.

so if you get personalize plates, do you remove them from the car before you walk in the DMV to return them? Would hate to get a ticket in the parking lot!! hah

Not sure how that works. When I bought my first 2015 Silverado 2500HD back in January of this year, my truck still had dealer plates on it. I waited until I received the state issued plates in the mail to swap them to my personalized white plate. I had requested for my personalized Legacy plate in late August and received a note from my local AAA office in mid November that they were available for pickup. Had the personalized legacy plate on my truck for roughly a week and then I sold the truck. Obviously I removed my personalized plates from the vehicle upon handing the keys over. As for the S4, again I waited until I received my state issued plates to swap them at the local AAA office.

In your case, I would just bring a screw driver with you if they are demanding you to surrender your old plates. More than likely they won't want them.

Yes. I had tools with me to uninstall old plates when I got to DMV. Went in to exchange for my new plates. Installed new plates in DMV parking lot before driving off.

Sequential. Mine is B something too. Based on what I've been seeing they're currently on C.

What Todd said.. I'll be getting a personalized plate at some point.. Just can't finally decide on what to be stuck with!! Hah

Oh cool. Interesting that DMV is doing sequential plates like that. Thought it would start with a # then 3 letters and 3 more #'s(5ABC224)

FYI, it took over 3 months for mine to show up.

[leethalink]

Mine arrived last week. 3 months total. Guy a DMV said the 60's plates are coming to an end soon so orders at end of year were delayed. Apparently replacing the 60's plates with '51. Nothing confirmed other than I got mines.

Hello Tennessee, but I think you're in the wrong section. This is a So. Cal. section with a discussion about So. Cal. plates. Thank you for your .02 cents about your military plate.

[H60mguy]

Based in California and had the option of swapping out to CA tags. Fort Irwin counts as SoCal right?

Not about to drift away from the subject, but PCS'ing to Cali is one thing, being a permanent resident is another. But hey, knock yourself out with your Tennessee military plates.

I'll do my best. I haven't seen any of the black plates up here in the High Desert yet. Only time will tell!

Just spotted this car on my way to the office right now in Los Alamitos. I knew I saw that plate on this thread.

I went to dmv they said the legacy plates are expecting a delay and could take 20+ weeks. They are still delivering plates that were purchased in October last year.

[El Jefe Libano]

Damn, that's a looong wait.. I feel for you man, at like 3 weeks I was getting impatient! Lol

Just placed an order for personalized Legacy plates. Let the long wait time begin!!

I think it would be nicer if they allow 8 characters so your could treat "A5" as a hexadecimal number, thus you have 1010 0101

[youS4]

For the people that have ordered recently, is it still taking forever and a half to get your plates in? I'm leaning more towards sequential because I have no idea what custom plates to run.

[daspoon]

$50 for plates, $40 annual renewal

Down to 3 months now, huh? I guess the initial demand has finally died down.

[SDBolts]

Well, that means mine should be in about Thanksgiving.

Picked them up and mounted today. These things put the current CA plates to shame.
