I feel the need to leave my $.02 as well,
I live in Ohio, which requires two plates for legal operation.  I have 
always felt that the front plates detracted from the looks of a car.  
This is especially true of something with a pointed, sculpted nose 
section.  All cars sold (in theory) in states that require two plates are 
equipped with a front plate holder.  If the car was originally purchased 
in a state without front plate regulations, it probably doesn't have 
one.  That's why someone with the exact year/model might have a front 
holder when your doesn't.
