Michael,
Your Bugeye looks good (at least what I can see of it).
As I recall, this is what happened, during that time period, with CA
license plates:
The yellow, with black letters/numbers plates were issued in 1956,
replacing all plates that were currently in use. Each subsequent year,
a metal tab (and then a decal) was applied to the top right corner of
the rear plate, to indicate current registration.
The black, with yellow letters/numbers plates were issued in 1963,
replacing all prior plates. Decals applied to the right top corner of
the rear plate kept it current. These plates are still legal (all YOM
issues aside) if they are on the originally-registered vehicle and it
has been continuously registered.
Each of the above plates were formatted with a combination of 3 letters
(starting with AAA), followed by 3 numbers (starting with 000).
About 1970, due to running out of the 3-letter/3-number permutations,
blue with yellow letters/numbers began to be issued. They supplemented,
but didn't directly replace the black with yellow plates. They had a
reversed format: 3 numbers/3 letters. This format ran until 1980.
So, getting back to the '60 Bugeye, with black background and yellow
letters/numbers, the PMG... plate would have been issued perhaps around
1966/7, when it was registered and received that plate, assuming it is
the plate that was issued to that car originally. I recall that I had a
newly-registered car in April, 1969 and it was assigned a ZFY... plate.
