Here is a DMV page giving the history of the Calif plates from 1914 to 1972
(www) .dmv.ca.gov/pubs/reg_hdbk_pdf/app1e_ca_license_plate_data.pdf

As you can see from the pictures, these plates will display as nice as your classic car is. Very Straight and Clean, but show surface rust. Email me for a reputable restorer I have used in the past, and fairly reasonable too. Proudly display them on your antique 1935 automobile. Not only that, but once registered, they will act as your official DMV car plates!
**Please call the DMV (if you need to drive with the plates)
