| Post subject: | Trying to find out ORIGINAL license plate number - how?? |
So in the process of restoring my 1960 V200 Valiant wagon. Many steps still to go, but I've come upon this one right now. When I bought the wagon, it came with one 'original' 1963 CA series black and yellow plate: black background, yellow numbers. I have the original pink slip showing the previous owner's name and the plate number. Groovy. Under CA license law, I can re-register using this plate as an original YOM plate registration. BUT, here's my deal: My wagon is a 1960. It would have originally come with a CA 1956 series Yellow background, Black number plate. I do not have this plate, nor any information on it. HOW can I find out what the original plate number of the car was? Has anyone tried to obtain an original license plate number by doing a VIN search? Please advise if you know anything that could help. I am wondering if this would be a lot more work than it's worth, considering I have a 1963 series plate with pinkslip. But the thought of the ORIGINAL plate number on the car strikes me as very cool. Thoughts? |

Oh man....I just realized my car doesn't have a VIN, just a manufacturer's serial number. Is there any way to do what I want?? |

Of course your car has a VIN. The serial number is the last six digits of the VIN. (And, um, why typing in big blue letters? The regular small black kind are perfectly readable.) |

The original small black letters are no longer available in California. Lax Canadian standards mean I can still use them for now. |
