Not a problem in Arizona, but there are rumors that we may go back to front plates!

I think that is a great idea.   I believe all the 50 states should have both licence plates.  Yes everyone will have there pros and cons on this subject.    But you get what you ask for.

After I got stopped by the State Police, I re-installed my front plate.

I have not had a front plate (legal plate) on for about two years now, and now technically my back plate isn't legal either (state plate in the window) and I've had state troopers pass me and just give me a Thumbs%20Up  One of these days though I'm going to run into Joe Rookie looking to make someone an example Confused

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
Minnesota allows cars '72 and older to run with just a rear plate.  Cars '73 and newer are required by law to display front and rear plates.  Most C4s and newer that I have seen don't have a front plate displayed, even on used car lots.  Have met many state and local patrol cars while cruising in "The Beast" (which has the front cover in place) and have not been pulled over - so far.

Michigan only offers the rear plate. I have a 1971 Historical Plate. It would be a real bummer if I had to go out and find the front one.Unhappy
