This is my first question here. I hope my question wasn't out of context. I want to know what font is used in California license plate header. The word "California" I mean. It would be great if you can recognize main font too.
Thanks in advance.

Although it is similar to Mistral and Brush Script, my guess is that it's a custom font.
The font is Rage. Of course, the tail on "a" at the end is extended.

actually looks tacked on manually because it does not touch the r

It's not a font! Look at the a's and the i's. Remember these license plates were created when computers did not even exist (at least, not for the crowds…). If you really need it, you will have to trace it in a vector design software (Illustrator, Inkscape,…) or maybe someone already did it and share it on the web!
