I just sent him another email with his eBay ad and the plate images again and see what he says.

Maybe you could find a photo (hi-res) of a blank plate from the vintage you want and supply that to him to work with. I'm guessing he would have to recreate the background artwork, which would be time consuming and thus cost prohibitive (especially if he only received a couple of orders for plates from that era).

I'm probably going to have to find a Centennial plate and get it reproduced unless ISP is able to find me a Trooper plate to get me by.

I wonder if he can make the Sunset Cali plates.(1984-87).

vs. Platemeister the font of the 4 and the 9 are a little different and the holes are correct. I was going to buy some from platemeister, but I waited too long....

It should also be noted that the cheapie plate is missing the "Month" and "Year" scripts at the top and the "CALIFORNIA" script isn't anywhere close to being correct. Hopefully proper restoration quality replica plates for California will again become available in the future.

Has anyone here heard of why Elmer quit offering them????
