Title: Antique Auto Plate
Post by: dalper on June 04, 2009, 02:42:48 PM

Does anyone know if this was a city issued plate or was it in place of the state plates that came about the same time? Value?

Could very well be wrong...but think it has to do with insurance!  PLICA  Personal Liability Insurance Company of America?!?

The first license plates appeared around 1901 and they were personally made.  Not state made until 1903.

I would think a person in the Chicago area with an antique car would love to have that.
