    I was reading the post about club stickers and license plates. In New York we have to have both front and rear plates. So we really don't have the need for custom plates.
    I was wondering how many other states require two plates?

    If you have regular plates in Mass, you have two plates - unless you still have the old 1970s green plate which is a single plate.

    However, I have "year of manufacture" plates (1964 in my case) and you don't have to have two plates for that.

    Frankly, I am not sure if you need two plates if you have official antique plates in this state.

    Yeah, but I drove everything I had with no front plate and the ONLY time I had an issue was going on base (friends' kid's graduation) and one cop who didn't have me on ANYTHING else! Had to get another cop to sign it off and his only question was "what did you do to pi$$ him off? " Razz

    wonder if any states still use prisoners to make license plates, when i renewed the tag on my pu truck they made me get a new one and i think it was because it didn't have the scan code on the old one, you know you ride by the police car sitting in the median and the two boxes on his rear deck lid is reading your life history. i thought that if someone was a criminal and had a new tag which is flat you could just scan it onto a piece of plastic and there would be no card reader. yes to much government invasion.

    Two plates are required up here in Minnesota, (except motorcycles, because that would just be dumb) but people seem to ignore that when it's convenient.

    Two plates in Texas..

    If you have vintage plates, that has to match the year of your vehicle, you still have to have two.

    Texas is about to start issuing Black and White plates that look like the vintage Texas plates, but they will have some kind of tracking built in that the police can read.

    As I said in NY you have to have two. You can have the original years plate, but you have to have two and in my case 1963 they also had a '63 smaller plate on them.
    So to run correct year plates I first had to find a matching set then had to buy two '63 smaller plates. Now have to get my insurence card's read historical on them. Then I have to send all into to DMV main office to get their ok.. a lot of work, but I guess it's worth it, for me anyway Smile
