The Chicago Motor Club, or CMC, is the local chapter of the American Automobile Association in Chicago, Illinois. The CMC sponsored the first Elgin National Road Races in 1909.[1] Growing from concern for the well-being of students walking to school, the CMC pioneered the concept of School Safety Patrols in 1920.[2]
Its headquarters at 68 E. Wacker Place was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as a contributing building in the Michigan–Wacker Historic District.[3]
