New plates

I went the other way. I ditched the modern Oregon plates for a set of vintage plates. A mild inconvenience and expense, but they look 'correct' on the car to this old Oregon native.

I did have a bit of luck, in finding August plates to put on my July production car.

I went with vintage plates on my MGB, but unfortunately, GA stopped producing year specific plates in 1971 and went with stickers for each year after that, so I just went with 240ZED on the Z.

I have a blue set from California, would they be the originals?
For a 77 I believe blue would be original. 3 numbers, 3 letters somewhat earlier than 'VKP' because those were the three letters on the original Cali plates for my 5/78.

I was very lucky in finding vintage plates for my 2 Datsuns. A friend of mine is a plate collector and just "happen" to have a very low number for the Z, county and last name letter correct. The 81 BONZI plate (car's name) was the first year personal plates were available in KS, thus being very plain. KS is also a "one plate State" except "vanity", so any plate can be up front if the legal one is on the back. He also had a county correct 1968 for the Roadster, in the right colors. Just got my paperwork from the State, both are legal and Antique.
