Personaly, What the DMV don't know won't hurt you. I was never asked to show
them my plates, and unless your stopped for no front plate, who would ever
know? And If your stopped, tell the occifer that it was stolen, can't be
replaced, the DMV would make you get the new style plates, wanna drive it? ,
that's a nice uniform............

Subject: RE: Calif. plates for 67 Sprite
Suppose, just suppose (you know, as in "A friend of mine has this
problem...") that you've got a Sprite with original California black/yellow
plates (you're the original owner), but you've got this tiny little problem:
your plates are actually a plate (singular) because the front plate went
missing years and years ago. Technically you're in violation, but you've
never been stopped or ticketed for it. Now, just suppose that you'd like to
do a little restoration and return to having two plates; original license
number of course. California is not about to remanufacture a plate for you,
and in fact you don't want to go anywhere near the DMV with your "little
problem." You'd just like to get one plate made (a replica?) to stick on
the front. I haven't seen the handy-dandy "ACME License Plate stamping kit"
down at the local Pep Boys. Anybody been down this particular path? (You
subversive, you!)
