Sorry for the diversion (for you non-Mass people), but...  You are able to
keep your old plate(s) (if you are transfering your reg from another car). 
Sounds like this car is being added to your stable, in which case, you're
right, you will get the red-lettered plates (a pair of them).  The registry
people will tell you that you can be ticketed for not having the front plate
on.
