There was one identical to this for sale in the Tupelo area around 10 years ago. Given the recent-looking CA plates, it might be the same car.

#1, Those plates are actually an old design issued sometime probably around 1988-1990.

#2, Ah. I knew they weren't the current design, but I figured they were more recent than that.

#3, It's not unheard of to transfer an older plate registration to a 'newer' (or just different) car. But that's normally done with vanity plates and such, not as often with standard-issue plate numbers.

#2, So, they went to the cursive-style "California" on the plate after that?

#5, Yeah, around 1994 or so. In the late '90s it gained a "Sesquicentennial - 150 Years" message on the bottom to commemorate California's 150th year as a state (2000). In 2001/02 it reverted to the regular cursive plate and then in 2012 gained "dmv.ca.gov" in ugly stretched letters on the bottom.

I figured the late '80s was the ubiquitous orange sun graphic plate seen so often in movies and TV, but that must've been earlier.

This style just looks like a color palette swap of the earlier yellow-on-blue that was still around in as late as the 80's

#7, http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/plates/licenseplthistory.htm My information was close, but the site is a bit wrong as well. Blue and yellow plates did not end in 1982 because my 1985 Pontiac was issued with one. I think they mean the six-digit 123 ABC combinations ended in 1982, because blue plates were still issued with 1ABC123 for another few years..

Oh man, I completely forgot about those sun plates... they looked awesome! [edit] Wow... the stretched-text URL on the bottom of the new plates is atrocious. [Edited by DiRF on 5-12-2013 @ 03:24:20 PM]
