Thread: license frame for early plates

Tweet

Generally speaking, hot rods from the good ol daze didn't have license plate frames.
Not in my SoCal town anyway.

I run my present day cars the same way except I make an 18 gage stainless backing plate for them.
Same size as the plate and it helps keep them from getting bent up.

Not much detail to be seen, but here's a pic of the frameless plate on the front of my 32 roadster.

California requires a front plate and Arizona - where I now live - doesn't.
The plate shown is from the yearly spring Route 66 Fun Run.
Law enforcement doesn't seem to have a problem with a non-official front plate and most folks around here run one.
They usually say Ford, Dodge, team names, Arizona and things like that.
