1925 Chicago Illinois Vehicle Tax Tag | Vintage Auto Garage Decor 142784

This 1925 Chicago Illinois vehicle tax tag, numbered 142784, is a fun piece of automobile history. Featuring a brown background with white numbering, these tags were displayed near license plates and served as precursors to modern city stickers. Issued annually, they allowed vehicles to be legally operated within Chicago. This tag was issued to a vehicle of 35 horsepower or less, and given the time period and their popularity, that was likely a Ford Model T. 

Small but significant, this tag makes a great addition to a transportation collection, vintage license plate display, or Chicago memorabilia showcase. It also works as a unique gift for a Chicago resident, automotive enthusiast, or someone interested in early municipal history. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a larger collection, it offers a direct link to the city’s past.
