The black plate is stamped "63" because that's the year the permanent plate was issued. You stuck on a annual renewal stacker over the "63" starting in 1964.

Hmm..., I now have my buddy's black wagon too :D! It's also factory black, but, cheap respray to the factory "505 Thunder Black". It also has a Z22e in it like yours also. I'll have to take a couple of pictures and post them up for you to see.

Let me try and help/confuse the black plate controversy

 

Any car with original plates from black on up can keep those plates on that vehicle, they are non transferable unless vanity which came out with the blue plates.

The year the plate was first issued was stamped on the plate through the black plate era. Blue plates are not stamped. The first year of the most recent black plates was 63.

Plates alternated black yellow/yellow black for yrs with each run being 5 or so yrs.

They had stickers as current registration for every year at least post wwII if not before.

If your car is older than 63 you can use any (not the original for the car) license plate from that yr with a special tab holding a current registration sticker.

 

Hope this helps

even if you have a matched set of black plates and a car that originally had black plates(lost or has the white now???), the dmv says... NO!

It depends who you deal with in DMV

Yes, you can retain the plates specially if you have documents like old registration on the car.

 

Don't take NO for an answer if you guys try it.

Go to next DMV office if needed to be.

 

I did a research on this last year.

Just waiting this July 2009 when it's in effect

 

But who knows what will happen when I try
