I seem to remember that in the '50's and '60's "A-1 Used Cars" was Chevrolet dealers slogan for their used car operations. Has this sign been modified or am I completely off-base here?

Denny, was it “OK” Used Cars that your thinking of?........I would love to have a sign for my shop but, between TV and eBay, they’ve got me priced right out of the market......Mark

I had to look, too! The Chevy houses used the "OK Used Cars" signs, whereas the Ford dealers seemed to use the "A-1 Used Cars" signs. Very similar, but definitely different! DD

Giant original Ford Authorized Dealer Sign. Pity that I could not get a good photo of it. It is in perfect condition. Very nice.

Wow, I really like this thread, at this point in time I can’t even afford the reproductions, let alone the real things, but it is fun to look.

It wont stay in perfect condition for very long with all of that crap stacked up against it. Are you sure its an original. Looks like a repop to me.

Regarding this Ford Authorized Dealers sign, I believe that it is an Original, as I first saw it over 40 years ago. I took this picture a few years ago, when I met up with the owner again. I don't believe that Reproductions weren't available back then?
