or check with Dave Hindman at

I went by Dave's booth at the recent Hot August Nights swap meet and
noticed that he had on display several cards and fliers from plate
restorers. If 'twere me I'd talk to Dave first--he treated me very
well on a YOM plate trade, and I trust him.

BTW, your '63 CA plates are legal because they have been continuously
registered or non-opped since issue, not because they are callsign
plates. I currently have two cars still registered with their original
'63 plates in the standard numbering.

Another BTW for those who wonder why they can't use '63 plates as YOM
plates in CA--it's because the YOM program allows for the use of
obsolete plates, and the '63 plates are not obsolete. They're still in
regular use on vehicles such as Don's and mine.

Just occurred to me...your callsign plates are transferable to newer
vehicles you purchase, as vanity plates are. '63 plates in the regular
numbering series must remain with the car they were originally
registered to.

Still, the continuous registration is critical. If you let them lapse,
you will probably have to turn them in and get them replaced with the
same numbers (your callsign) in the current plate style.
