California Plates - Now Seeing 8-Series Posted by EGD [Email] (#663) [Profile/Gallery] (more from EGD) on Thu, 28 Sep 2017 18:26:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Just saw my first California seven-character plate starting with an '8.' The plate was 8AC---- which is similar to the 1-series plate I got in August 1980 -- 1ACV402 -- when I moved to LA from Massachusetts. Took 37 years to go through the 1-7 series plates.
Apparently, the DMV made 13,588,900 7-series plates starting on April 2012. An astonishing number to me. Looks like the last of the 9-series plates will be issued sometime in 2026 and then the DMV will have to figure out a new scheme.
I'm DMV obsessed at the moment because my oldest just got his learner's permit and I've spent many hours waiting among the hordes there. Will have to get him in our manual tranny Saabs eventually but he'll have to learn to drive a stick first. He'll practice in our Volvo S60 until he does.
