I saw one of California's reissued black plates on a Mustang last week.
Couple of things. It's obvious that it's new. The numbers are narrow and angular, compared to being kind of chubby and rounded for the original. And of course the month tag is completely different.
One nice touch was the 63 stamp is on the plate in the upper right corner.
But you put them side by side and it's very obvious which is which.
I would have taken a picture, but the owner wasn't around and I didn't think he would appreciate some guy doing that and posting it on the Internet.
