<\/a><\/p>\nFrom the certificate we can read that the original color for the body is “Pearl Grey” and the interior is “Red”. Also the production date and dispatch date was new information to me. I also did not know that the was car originally dispatched to Guatemala.<\/p>\n

That\u00a0the car is dispatched to Guatemala\u00a0explains that:<\/p>\n
– Steering wheel is positioned on the left side
\n– Units for speed are expressed in km\/h
\n– Units for temperature is expressed in \u00b0C<\/p>\n
Same as we use in Europe!<\/p>\n
I always found this strange because the previous owner told me that the car was a original “California” black plate car. In the USA\u00a0they use Miles and Fahrenheit instead of Km and \u00b0C. So this\u00a0mystery has be\u00a0resolved.<\/p>\n
California Black Plates<\/h3>\n
The California black license plate where introduced in 1963 and are still in use in the USA.\u00a0They are allowed on cars if the registration was issued between 1963 and 1969. One year ago they are reproducing them again for owners who have a classic car which came originally from this time period.<\/p>\n
The license plate itself measure 12″ by 6″ and are painted black. The registration number and state name are pressed into the steel and painted yellow\/gold. With Two of the four 1\/4″ holes the plat can be mounted to the car.<\/p>\n
From the original licence plates we can see that the registration fee was last paid in 1969. The intention was to place the sticker on the right sticker well, but the owner of this car was probably not aware of this rule.<\/p>\n
