Here's my "Traditional" hot rod. Found in a barn 1934 Ford. All steel and flathead powered.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh thats nice. Just got back from droping off some flathead parts left over after I parted out an 8BA. He had a 34 5 window, looked like an old hot rod build, a 32 3 window, that was really sharp, and I think a 27 RPU, nice built, but more of rat rod style. I had to get outa there, (I didn't bring my drool bucket).............

Thanks for the awesome photos Kevin, Tell me, why does the cars not have registration plates and or windscreen stickers to say they are legal? Downunder we are legally obligated to have license plates front and rear and a registration sticker on the windscreen. I absolutely want that 1936 Roadster, that is so lovely. Isn't it refreshing to see fat fender cars becoming popular again.

Here in the US, requirements vary by state. I live in Tennessee and we only get one license plate and it goes on the back of the car. Nothing on the front and nothing on the windshield. Other states require license plates front and back as well as stickers on the windsheild.

Missouri is a state that requires both front and rear plates and an inspection sticker affixed to the bottom left corner of the windshield. If the vehicle is old enough, generally 25 years or older, you can run antique plates though they are very restrictive on when you may drive the car.

Licensing, registration and inspection is regulated by the states in the US, not by the Federal Government. Some states require only a rear plate, some require both. Some require inspection, some don't. We essentially have 50 different sets of rules.

In Virginia, we're supposed to run front and rear plates. However, most people with older hot rods only use one on the rear. I've never been stopped for the "missing" front plate. However, I carry it with me, just in case, and hope I can either come up with a story - or beg for a warning. Virginia does require a safety inspection and a small sticker on the front windshield.

Thanks for that Henry, fifty different laws for the states, does that make it hard when travelling from coast to coast or once your car is registed in one state, one can drive it across country without a problem? I am like you, I should have a plate on the front of my car too but don't and so far have managed to get away with it..

Most of the time it's no problem. Except when you get to CA.
