Illinois License Plates

Illinois cities first issued license circular license plate seas from 1899 through 1907 and these were made of steel and brass. The fist State of Illinois issued license plates started in 1907 pursuant to legislative statute and the plate in 1911 was flat, in 1912 the plates were perforated and 1n 1913, the numbers and state name were cut out of blank metal. The reason why perforated and cut out letters/numbers were manufactured to allow air through the license plate to cool radiator. In 1914 embossed steel license plates were introduced and this continued to 1942 –when the United States joined the Allies in World War II. To save metal for the war effort, Illinois issued license plates made of fiberboard from 1942 through 1948. There are reports that goats from nearby farms roamed the streets of rural Illinois and ate the fiberboard license plates right off the car bumpers.

The first sloganon Illinois license plates appeared in 1954: LAND OF LINCOLN and continued until 1993. The 1976 license plate was a special design to commemorate 200 years of independence. The 1968 Illinois license plate commemorated 150 years of statehood. The letters ILL appeared on the first Illinois license plate issued in 1911 and continued until 1933. In 1934, the full state name “Illinois� was embossed.

In the year 1966, retro-reflective film covering an aluminum substrate license plate was introduced and continues today with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) mandates. Illinois was one of America’s most industrialized of all the states and huge companies were headquartered there. Big names included: Sears Roebuck, Wrigley’s, AB Dick, Brach’s Candy, International Harvester, Caterpillar, John Deere and many others, so by 1950 over 2,000,000 private cars were registered. Ten years later in 1959, over 3,000,000 private cars were registered. This number jumped over 5,000,000 by 1980.

NICE JOB!

Michael G - Clifton, New Jersey

Just wanted to write to say that my plate frame was delivered last week and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The product is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. The quality is excellent and I couldn't have picked a better type for the letters. I am very happy I stumbled across your site and I thank you for quickly answering my questions. I will gladly recommend your site and products in the future.

Jeff R - Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania

ATTN: Customer ServiceTo whom it may concern,I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your company for producing a fine product. I have ordered about 8 plates from you over the past 10 years and have been delighted by every one of them.I recently ran into a miss communication with the printing of my latest plate. It was a gift for a friend of mine. I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to have the plate redone at a nominal fee. I understand the price of raw materials, shipping and handling and the other items that go with that. But all in all the recipient loved what was given to him thus eliminating the need to redo that plate. Thanks again.In the meantime I will get together additional information for new plates over the next couple of weeks. Again thank you for your assistance and your continued production of a quality product.Sincerely Yours,Lester

Christian - Miami Springs, Florida

Just wanted to express my thanx. The previous order was excellent and just what i was expecting from you guys. You people do and excellent job and one can always be happy and satisfy with the product that you all provide.On the text that i wrote i placed a space between the "cr753" and the "@". The reason that i included that space was because in the preview of the plate, it just didn't seemed to look correct without the space. If the space is not require for the plate to look like the one you guys have as a sample, please do not include the space.Once again, i would like to commend and thank you all for your excellent craftsmanship and service you provide. If you all ever are able to acquire the front plate holders for the front Italian plates, please don't hesitate to write me and email so i may be able to procure one from you guys... Thank you...

I just got my 4th plate from you today and I continue to be amazed by the quality of the product. Right down to the proper size and no-hole orientation of the 55 NY plate (I only learned that by going back and visiting the site). Thanks so much. You've helped to make several old cars of mine, my brother's and my best friend even more period-authentic. Great product and well worth the expense for something done with such a high level of quality! I guess that might be silly, since the originals were made by state prisoners ... but that's another story!!!
