Todd, frames are designed to expose the state name.

Sadly no. That was a great dealership with some old time mechanics who knew how to set the KugelFischer on my Tii.
Old man Vasek had at least two Batmobiles that he was racing in vintage. If I remember correctly, while racing in Germany in the 90's, he got into a serious accident. He was flown back to the US but he died soon after.
The business was then sold and moved from Hermosa Beach to a new location in Torrance and renamed South Bay BMW. They got rid of the bats that were often seen in the window of Vasek's dealership on PCH. What an awesome sight that was when driving home from work!
The building has been sitting there abandoned for the last 20 years. You can still see the vertical panel where the BMW logo was.
i have a Bob Autrey vintage frame - where my coupe was purchased from. perhaps not as desirable as Polak ... but that's where mine was sold new and i have 2 of them.
It did in NH and the Live Free or Die too

The discussion of original dealership plate frames makes me nostalgic for the time I worked at the BMW dealership in Crystal Lake, Illinois. While we put the dealership plate frames on every car, it is unfortunate that at that time (mid 80's to early 90's) the frames were made of black plastic and not really intended to ever be something lasting like the chromed metal ones in this conversation. 
So much of our world, automotive and other, has migrated from metal to plastic. I will restrain myself from further comment.The discussion of original dealership plate frames makes me nostalgic for the time I worked at the BMW dealership in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

At first glance on my phone screen I thought it said "Live Free or Disco". Tough choice...
Concerning VP, here is a frame for sale, NMNA.

It will be interesting to see if any Original CSRegistry frames show up.
I’m in as well.

Bump to the top and Disco all the way home.
Hey Steve,
How are the orders coming? Say, if we put a new registry frame on every one of the coupes on Carl's lot, that would add significantly to the order quantity. That is assuming all of these cars are in the registry. I would imagine that if Carl hasn't entered them, @HB Chris probably has.

Carl is not the Registry kind of guy but I look for VINs when I can.
Steve: to TodB's point, a
lot of stuff in the papers in NJ about people getting pulled over and ticketed for frames that cover the New Jersey name. Will the frames you order be OK?

The European plates are so cool. We here in the US have to have different colors for every state, which change every time a new governor gets elected.
Any chance of posting a pic of what a NJ plate looks like? In Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, and every other plate I can picture in my head, the state name is in the top middle of the plate, between the top fasteners. It appears that this frame would leave that area clear.
