Today at lunch some coworkers of mine were discussing car features of the past which you either rarely or never see today, and someone brought up how some cars once had the fuel fill cap located behind a flip-down rear license plate. At which point the question turned to why this is no longer done. Some thought it was purely aesthetics/styling, others thought it was a driver convenience concern, and still others thought there may have been safety issues with having the fuel fill located in a vulnerable area for rear-end collisions.
Anyone here know the actual reason, or have any other thoughts on this question? Thanks!
