I believe Calif has a historic plate, but the most common thing for collectors is YOM (Year of Manufacturer) plates.

Basically as long as you can locate an original set (yes you need a front and a back) of Calif plates from the same year that your car is titled for, you can register you car with those as long as the number on the plate is not currently active in the system. At that point they are treated like vanity plates. So no restrictions on the vehicle use. Only ongoing inspection Calif does is Smog, and all Packard do to age are except from that inspection anyway.
