Maryland requires a front plate, Delaware does not.

I wish I owned a business that was so profitable I could take in expensive inventory and never sell it.
 
The newest car in the collection is a 1976, so I think the owner of the dealership collected these for himself. Not for resale.

now I have to mar the bumper on my Imp because I moved to a 2 plate state
  
IMO I think 2 plates are dumb... I know I'll get flamed but I do.

 
I agree 2 plates are dumb. In Ohio we have the 2 plate law, but every state that borders us are 1 plate states.

if they see a front plate, they (police) figure, you're from ohio?

Actually, since I don't feel like putting just the plat on the car, I was thinking I would get the plate holder from the dealer provided it isn't 3 arms and 2 legs.... until then the front stays clear. It might even stay that way until an officer says so. I might even do that for my truck, even though it's front bumper is actually designed for a plate. It still has the remnants of a plate frame and a Superman plate that some how got banged around ... I just haven't removed the remaining pieces.

Wow. Replying to this like two months later...
Cheers Dub-G. I miss Pasadena dearly as I also worked at Caltech (I.T. staff 1998-2004) and EarthLink when it was on New York Drive (1996-1998). Lived in South Pas for years, used to eat at Ernies Jr. on Colorado before Colorado was gentrified.
 
Los Angeles is so spread out in demographics. I think a lot of sales success in that market comes down to location. Pasadena would be a wonderful market to have worked in.
My first Dodge gig was in Van Nuys and it was tough to qualify people there. I followed the money out to Simi Valley and closed like crazy in an area where people had income, homes, savings...
 
Dub was your dealership west of downtown by the Rolls/Ferrari/Jag shop? Or was it on the east by Rosemead? Can't picture it at all.
 
in my two month absence, I sold about 20 Dodge Grand Caravans, gave notice, and start a new position at the local Toyota dealer in the morning! The only Toyota dealership for 50 miles around. In L.A. we had like 85 of them. Looking forward to actually seeing some dealership traffic. My first choice was Honda but they just hired. Oh well. Toyota. Enuff said.
 
Should be a whole different world. Really excited about the move.

Of all the stores in our autogroup I think the dodge store is doing the worst. I don't blame you for leaving. Our only other domestic store is Chrysler and they are doing ok but not great.

I'm in Washington State, no front plate required here either. But it's fairly recent (last 3 years I think..)
