Bruce, they were acceptable on California cars prior to 1962 models. The new
law lets the newer cars have them until the year they stopped using black
plates. The problem is that the plate MUST have the sticker on the plate(at
the bottom of the pile) consistant with the model year. So, I need to find a
pair or plates that has a white sticker ('64) on the bottom of the pile. I
found a guy who will sell me an original 64 sticker, never used but the DMV
has seen my plate with out sticker. Maybe it will fulfill the letter of the
law and they will have to give it to me.
This just sucks!
