Anyone know what it is and where I can buy it?
Example:

Or anything similar if not exact.
Thanks in advance!

You won't find a perfect match as it's not a digital font. The suggested alternatives have been good. Here's another inspired by German plates:

first license plate ever
"License plates have been around almost as long as automobiles, appearing in the earliest period of the transition from the horse, 1890 to 1910. The Netherlands were the first to introduce a national licence plate, first called a "driving permit", in 1898. The first licences were simply plates with a number, starting at 1. By August 8th of 1899 the counter was at 168. When the Dutch chose a different way to number the plates on January 15th 1906 the last issued plate was 2065."

Yeah, I know I won't find an exact one, I just needed something close, many of the linked files where for typefaces of europe licenseplates, just wanted something close to what is used in cali.
thanks everyone!
