I've said it before in MA you'd be stopped and go directly to jail... In fact I
suspect that would be true for any New England state except maybe Vermont.
I notice in California alot of cars driving around with a paper plate with a
dealer's name and nothing else.... I dunno if thats legal or not but I see it
frequently.

Drive it without a plate? I drove the '92 2.5T from Ohio with no plate
at all, and was even pulled over in MS for it. Since I bought the car 1
day before I was pulled over I was still within the legal time frame for
licensing the vehicle. In MS its less than a week, but some states it
is longer.
This could very well be totally different for trucks.
HTH!!
