California YOM Information for 1929 to 1939 California Vehicles / License Plates

***Please note:  Plates pictured below are passenger car plates.  Truck / commercial vehicle plates have "PC" or "SC" stacked on the left side of the plate.  These plates are very hard to find and we've heard the DMV will "generally" allow passenger car plates on trucks / commerical vehicles for YOM registration of model-years 1946 and prior.  However, each office appears to do things differently so be prepared that you may be turned down when attempting to register a truck / commerical vehicle with passenger car plates for 1946 and earlier.
