California licence plates of the 1960's were black with yellow digits. Presence of the original plates is a catchphrase that is intended to indicate that the car is very original and has not had title changes that would have led to newer blue or white licence plates. This is not always the case, but it's generally a good thing. Not sure that I'd pay extra for it, though.... I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that black plates started up in 1963 and went into the seventies. White plates came out in the 1980's. -Kenyon --- jdmoran2@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Good Morning! > > Could someone explain this term, ie. meaning etc. for me?.
