Good stuff, but unfortunately not as early as I'd like. Does anyone know where you can get repops of earlier style California plates? I'm specifically interested in the black 1941 style with the rounded corners. We've got a company here in the UK (States Plates) that say they'll make custom sizes but it's impossible to get them to answer the phone.

 

I shouldnt really do this wrong un but if you phone this number 01507522247 and ask for states plates just dont tell them where you got this number..............Marq

 

Thanks Marq, Mum's the word!

 

I heard of a guy making vanity plates from old licence. He cuts the letters with a lazer, then tig welds them back together. Cool or what?

 

I just got a pair of 1959 Maryland Plates (Not repos) for my Elky from Ebay for $20 and in really good shape!

 

I don't know how technical the DMV gets and I don't know how your Elky is registered but in 1959 truck plates had the numbers first followed by the 2 letters.



I was disappointed. I wanted 1951 (the year of the newspapers in the doors) but I settled for 1956.

 

I was going to give you that number too.....

 

I really want a pair of 36 Alabama plates although if someone came up with some others of 1936 i may take them............Anyone ...........Marq

 

I did not know that. Thanks for the info. I believe it's registered as a truck.
it's part car/truck so I figured it wouldn't matter how the tags were lettered.
I guess i'll wait and see what DMV says when I bring em in.

You can have CA vintage plates on your car even if you are not in that state?
If so i'd like to find a set since I did buy my Elk from CA anyway.
