Guys, I have a question for you. Apparently some of the Eastern States
allow historic MV's to be registered by bumper or hood number in lieu of
historic plates. I would be interested in learning which states and
obtaining copies of their code and giving it a try here in Idaho. I tried
contacting MVPA and received very little help from them. Any information
would be appreciated. As a side light when did the US adopt the hood and
bumper number system. I have my Dad's photo album from around June and July
1942 and the photos at Ft Warren WY show small plates rather hood and
bumper numbers.
