Who likes front license plates...

[RedBarchetta]

I've lived in So Cal for 26 years and the only tickets I've ever received for no front license plate is when parking at LAX. Sounds like they are too anal in other parts of the country, though all the talk about these photo cams makes me wonder if that is all going to change soon.

I agree, and also, what Illinois government official decided to change that nice looking gold colored antique plate we had last year to the new "fleshtone" crap design....looks like a color-blind 2nd grader designed it...

David,

Although it is the law in IL, I have never had a problem with being stopped for no front license plate. I have driven many cars without a front plate. The Cobra and my Noble both are without front plates. When registering the Noble I went out of my way to have a special front bracket constructed just to be used to pass the IL inspection. The inspector checked a number of things but even he had no interest if the car was equiped with a front license plate bracket. I think most cops in the area will let it slide unless the car is doing something else they really don't like. I plan on taking the chance that those cops that care will not find me and if they do I guess I will have a ticket to pay.

And I also agree that the new antique vehicle plate design is not the best. I just got new AV plates for two cars and I wish they were the previous design. It will change again.
