[DML] re: front license plate bracket?

Mark..........

Just don't put it on. I live in IL where they require front plates and I
don't have them on any of my cars. Once I got pulled over in the Allante
and was given a warning. The only other time was in the D in a REALLY bad
part part of town. (The cop must have thought I was the local drug dealer
or pimp driving through there in that car.) He comes up and says, "know why
I pulled you over?" I say "I bet you want to know where the front plate is"
"Yep!", he says. I grabbed the plate from behind the seat and showed it to
him. He says, "good enough......So how do these doors work????" We ended
up chatting for about 15 mintues (no warnings or anything)

I wouldn't deface your D (or any other car) by putting an ugly front plate
on it. I was told that IL front plate laws was for the meter maids in
Chicago--they didn't want to have to walk around the back of the car to
check the plate when doing parking meter checks. Who knows how true that is
though..........

Anyway, if you still want on, all the D parts suppliers have them.

Hello, all. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mark Fearer.
I live in Manchester, New Hampshire. I joined the DeLorean Owners
Organization as an enthusiast. Well, this weekend I aquired a 1981 DMC-12.
New Hampshire requires a front plate. The car did not have a bracket for a
front plate when I bought it. Did they ever make one? Where might I look
for a front license bracket? Thanks in advance...
