ken1007 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 After sorting items related to a recent old car acquisition; a license tag that looked like triple A logo was found but it's the tag for "Automobile Legal Association". Google search did not lead to any satisfactory explanation. Ebay has a few listed for sale. What is, or was. ALA. Ken, Deltaville, Va Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Cole Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Add the word "history" to the end of your search for ALA and you get a couple of sites with detailed explanation. Basically, it was a group organized to defend the automobile and the rights of owners in around 1907. There were anti-automobile groups in the US and Europe early in the 20th century. They came up with some interesting legislation to limit the advancement of the automobile, The ALA fought against those laws and evolved into an assistance group like AAA. The "legal' part included assistance from their lawyers for car owners and their chauffeurs. In the 20s they published touring guides and a magazine called "The Automobilist". I've seen info printed as late as the 50s. Edited May 25, 2016 by Phillip Cole Add info (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
