CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB HONOR MEMBER CAR AUTO BADGE GRILLE LICENSE PLATE EMBLEM METAL

Description

CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB HONOR MEMBER CAR AUTO BADGE GRILLE LICENSE PLATE EMBLEM METAL
Up for your consideration is a vintage Chicago Motor Club grille/license plate badge. It is in original used condition and shows that it was proudly displayed by its owner. It measures 5” tall by 4 1/3” wide. I have been told that this rare badge denotes the owner as an Honor member of the club and dates from 1930s to 1940s. The club sponsored the first Elgin National Road Race in 1909 and originated out of concern for the wellbeing of children walking to school. It also introduced the concept of School Safety Patrols.
Includes original mounting screws on back. Screws turn freely and are not rusted in place.
This mounting system is rare. Most have a mounting bracket on the bottom.
