Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Many Polish cars drive in my country but I have never seen one with a square front license plate.
after over 10 years parted with the 1995 Volvo 480 ES 2.0

You wrote, that you didn't saw any Polish car with square license plates on the front. The explanation is simple: Probably owners don't know, what is really good
But from the other side... real explanation is very simple: We have both set of plates. Two oblong, or one oblong and one square. Square license plates are usually for the rear bumper. My ES have european bumper, so it is impossible to mount the square number in this place. Square on the rear would be risky - plate far beyond the bumper.
