They seem to be overselling the tickets for profit though... Would never get away with that nowadays.

I assume the numberplate was like that so you could drive around with the bootlid open with some sort of outlandish load, like a bale of hay, or a lightly sedated pig.

I think it just does away with the need for the slightly complicated wiring for the number plate light if it was on the boot lid.

The bootlid does open downwards, hence the side mounted number plate.  These were quite advanced cars for the time, with monocoque construction, a clever independent front suspension system, and most futuristic of all, serious rust problems. so very few have survived.

Also an engine with overhead valves when they weren't common on cars this size.
