WOW! I was working at Mac Mcgruder Chevrolet in Palm Springs in 1974. I did new car prep, I wonder!!!! I miss living in Palm Springs I grew up and graduated there, 1965-2001. I think more and more of returning some day. Mike

No plate on the front of my Corvette, but I've got a pair of cow horns on it.

We don't need no stinking badges - er, front plates - here in Tennessee either.

Yeah-not overly creative, but I like the look.

Did NOT like putting it into the garage last night though (we got snow today, so it's off the road until the salt washes off a bit).

Oh well, I did get to stop by the Corvette America showroom on my way home Thursday...

VA is a two plate state also. However, the rear plate is the only one mounted. The front plate sits with the t-top straps just in case..
