This is good info to know before shelling out $50 (plus another $40 per year thereafter!) . . . from that website's F.A.Q. section . . .

Q13: Are the Legacy Plates going to look exactly like the license plates issued in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's?
A: No. Current law requires license plates to be reflectorized and modern manufacturing processes may not allow for an exact replication of the original plates. The images shown on the website and REG 17L are for illustrative purposes only.  The final design of the plate will differ; however, as many characteristics of the original plates as possible will be applied.

They gotta go to 7500 before this deal begins... That's a long way from what they have... And still, they will not look like the old ones..

They're only 1200 or so away. I ordered mine

[deano]

Are you sure it is a total of 1200, or 1200 of each style?

Looks to me like it's 7,500 of each design, or at least 7,500 of one of the designs. Again, from the FAQs on the DMV site . . .

Q16: How many pre-orders does the DMV need to receive in order to initiate the production of the Legacy Plates?
A: The law enacting this plate program (AB 1658, 2012) allows until January 1, 2015 to reach the required minimum 7,500 pre-orders for any one of the plate styles.
