<VV> Corvairs with 'Antique' plates

Front plates ruin the look of a car, and are at best a requisite annoyance, 
or at best a "badge of antiquity" if you have an original plate from the 
year the car was made ?

When do you need the front plate ?  It's the back plate that you see as a 
car is driving away after running you over, and in the few seconds before it 
hit you, you probably weren't looking at the license plate number (you were 
looking at Elvis and a bright light in the distance) !

I've never had a front plate on any car here in California, and have never 
been questioned about it in over 15 years.

Name withheld to protect the guilty ...

(If I get stopped tomorrow, I'll know it was you who ratted me out !)
