California Black Plate Edition
A tribute to the golden era of California motoring.
Inspired by California’s iconic black license plates of the 1960s, the Black Plate design brings a piece of West Coast automotive history into your dashboard.
Between 1963 and 1969, California issued license plates featuring a black background and bold, chrome-yellow embossed lettering. This unmistakable color combination became a symbol of the state’s classic car culture and remains closely associated with vintage California automobiles.
Our Black Plate Edition gauge faces pay homage to this heritage with a deep matte-black background, vibrant yellow numerals and markings, and distinctive retro-inspired typography. Whether you’re building a classic restomod, customizing a modern Porsche, or simply looking for something different from the factory gauges, Black Plate Edition tachometer delivers a distinctive look without compromising the instrument cluster’s original character.
California heritage. Timeless contrast. Made for the drive.
The material is resistant to heat, bright sun or moisture.
