Flip down plate bracket like from 60's GM cars.

Made my own, for use with a flip down (up in my case) license plate.

I used a flip up plate mount (this one happens to be for a '74 Chevelle) to allow the ball mount stub to be inserted through a notch in the license plate bracket -

Have you already bought a hidden hitch? IF so, which one did you get?

No, I haven’t bought the hidden hitch yet, I was hoping someone had some experience with a particular brand. I’ve googled, and hate to spend $400 on a hitch, I was hoping someone had experience with something a little more affordable.

Google yielded this is an option

Is there a custom hitch place nearby? The last time I needed an odd-ball hitch, a local place made one that cost less then any ready made option that wouldn't have worked near as well.

That's a pretty cheap option with good reviews. You should buy it and let me know how nice it is.
