Massachusett is not unique. Colorado and many other states require a front license. I have been pulled over by the Highway Patrol in Utah strictly for not having a front plate. However, you don't have to make the bracket - the DeLorean vendors sell a bracket which does just what you describe. To eliminate the rattle and the possibility of scratching, I put stoppers on the bolts which hold the plate on the bracket (stoppers=just like those rubber things on the ends of the door closure lights).
