Historic Front License Plate

[Rickles (Rick)]

Here's what I found. No front plate needed after 1998.

20..."Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.39:3-33 or any other law to
21 the contrary, an owner of a vehicle registered as an historic vehicle
22 shall not be required to display more than one special license plate
23 issued for that vehicle, which plate shall be displayed on the rear of the
24 vehicle."

OK Here is what I found,

NEW JERSEY STATUTE 39:3-27.4. Historic motor vehicles; registration, license plates, display. ?Historic motor vehicle? shall mean any motor vehicle which is at least 25 years old and which is owned as a collector?s item and used solely for exhibition and educational purposes by the owner. Any owner of an historic motor vehicle who is a resident of this State may register such motor vehicle under the provisions of this act. Application for registering an historic vehicle shall be on forms prescribed by the director. Upon proper application and payment of the prescribed fee, the director shall issue a special non-conventional registration and special license plate for each historic motor vehicle registered in this State. Such registration and license plate shall be valid during the period of time that the vehicle is owned by the registrant. The fee for such registration and license plate shall be $25.00. The license plate shall bear the word ?historic? and shall be of such design and colors as the director may determine. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.39:3-33 or any other law to the contrary, an owner of a vehicle registered as an historic vehicle, or any vehicle manufactured before 1945, shall not be required to display more than one special license plate issued for that vehicle, which plate shall be displayed on the rear of the vehicle.

So if your vehicle is 1945 or older you don't have to run a front plate. That's the way I read it. I'm I wrong ?

That and "an owner of a vehicle registered as an historic vehicle" do not have to have front plates.
