Ideally, I would like the plates as out of the way as possible and I may think
about making another bracket to have the front plate lower and rearward of the
front bumper. Ottawa is a small city. I had a car that I neglected to put a
front plate on and after parking it and starting to walk away, a policeman
mentioned to me in passing that he had seen my car a couple of times and the
next time that he saw me without a front plate he would have to write me up.

I think restored YOM plates add the finishing touch to restored Healey. I
have '53's on mine, front and rear. I agree that Healeys look better without
a front plate but as Len says, they are required here. Many cities are
starting to crack down because they are needed for the red light cameras.
But what really blows me away are the number of people who will stare right at
the license plate and then ask you what year it is!

Front plates are required in California but you wouldn't know it looking at
many of the California Healeys that don't display them.

I personally don't like plates on the front. Fortunately, in Pa, they are not
required.
