Re: reproduction license plates

New Jersey has a rather curious situation. We are officially a 2-plate state, front and rear. So when applying for historic plates you get a pair, and the Motor Vehicle Division has not changed their requirements.
But our State Police have issued an "enforcement bulletin" that cars with historic plates need only have the official plate at the rear. They make no comment about the front plate so most of us use a year-of-manufacture plate so presumeably you could put anything there, or nothing. Nothing is particulary attractive on 1934 and back if you want to mount Trippe lights and typically the plate was center or near-center mounted. What's not understood is whether state and county police can still find you in violation of the MVD regulations so most of carry a copy of the bulletin for un uninformed. I enclose a copy for any NJ owners of qualifying vehicles that may not be aware of this, though it was issued in 2000.
