Right now, you can't do it, legally.
But there is a bill in the assembly that would finally allow it:
http://republican.assembly.ca.gov/index.asp?RefID=3945&body=Focus
Many car enthusiasts are against this bill, by the way -- they want to
maintain the current situation where an "original CA black plate car" means
something. But you would still be able to tell the difference under this
proposed system, I believe.
I would kind of like to get rid of the hideous "sunset" plates on my 66,
personally.
