Every owner or operator of a motor vehicle (including motorcycles, motor bicycles, motor scooters and mopeds) who purchases such license shall receive at the time of payment of the fee, a city license tag or decal, without extra charge therefor. Such tags or decals shall change in color and shape annually, be numbered serially, and bear the number and year for which it was issued. All license tags or decals shall be displayed not later than April 15th of the calendar year for which they are purchased. Each such city license tag or decal shall be permanently affixed to the lower, passenger side corner, of the windshield of the automobile, truck or other motor vehicle which has a windshield. For motor vehicles which have no windshield, the license tag or decal shall be permanently affixed to the front of the vehicle for which it was issued in a conspicuous place so as to be readily readable at all times at which such vehicle is operated on a public highway. The currently effective license tag or decal shall be displayed for the period of time it is in effect and shall promptly thereafter be removed from the vehicle to which it is affixed. Not more than the currently effective license tag or decal shall be displayed at any time on the motor vehicle and expired license tags or decals will not be displayed on the motor vehicle.
