As far as CA goes, vintage plates are available and legal only to use for
pre-1963 cars before CA changed to black plates. Plates usually can be
bought at auto swap meets (Pomona, which occurs once a month is the best).
Most people who specialize in selling vintage plates will provide documentatio
n that the plates have been cleared through DMV and are ready for use.
