Bullett question for Mr. Black Plate

[FordDude]

Just wanted to bring up that really cool California Black Plate list that you posted a while back with a question about it and the movie Bullett.
Now looking at the list Frankie's Mustang was "JJZ" and that puts it in Glendale. Today that is a movie making area, but not sure about 1968 era. But the question is the Charger's plate was "RDR" and that is not on your list. Does this person that provided the list in the first plate have the rest of the list "RDB" to "ZZZ"? Or can you ask about "RDR"?

The guy who posted the list didn't have the part after RDA. License plates used in movies are often fake, using letter combinations that are specifically set aside for movie and television use. JJZ and RDR don't appear on the list of skipped letter combinations, so they could have been real plates.

Here's a link to the list of skipped combinations:

Google'ing the Bullett movie to find the license plate of the Charger I found some info about the production of the movie. Warner Bros. was under contract with Ford to use Ford cars in the movie. The other chase car was suppose to be a LTD, but it was too heavy for the jumps. So the producers bought 2 Chargers in Glendale. Some dude claims to have found the camera Charger and is restoring it, others say it is not the camera car.

Yep, all that 60's flower power and bubblegum going to the DMV's head. That's the only year CA ever issued a pink sticker.
