In California, if you can find two matching plates from any ancient year, you can register your car with them with DMV, and then run the car with those plates. Unfortunately, my first California plat

Same thing here in VA, I think. I have no interest in them as I like to be able to drive my MG wherever and whenever I want. Technically, at least in VA, you have to really restrict your usage. Prett

No such problem because you are paying your normal license fee. Now, "historic vehicle" may have restrictions, but I wouldn't have the foggiest idea. Buster Evans

I think we'll discover that all this varies widely from state to state. Antique tags here in KS have no usage restrictions yet from what some of you are saying that is not true elsewhere. The guy I b

The number of states that do not require a front license plate is dwindling. Also, in California, where no front plate was a "graveyard felony" used to stay awake and talk tp someone, it is being enf

I've heard that L.A. will now ticket for no front plate, but I don't think anyplace else does. I haven't run a front plate since 1971, and I've never been hassled, although in that time I've been st

In IL you are supposed to have a front plate. Miatas hate them as do Corvettes, so it is not uncommon to see them without. Hard to see front and back of the car simultaneously, so not too many ticket

Until the advent of the traffic light cameras all over California, cops never really enforced the front license plate law. In "my day", it was just too petty and too "c-s". Now, with the traffic ligh

A good point to remember is that you can never talk yourself OUT of a ticket, but you can easily talk you way INTO a ticket. It is all in attitude. I once stopped a guy for going 15 over in the middl

It's a judgement call in California. Vehicle Code Section 27150 simply prohibits "excessive noise". That makes it up to the discretion of the cop or neighbors who might file a complaint. Most of the
