Re: Vintage Ford V8 Signs
My original '32 neon V8 sign personally removed from a small town dealership's front window in Indiana many years ago following an auction there. The second photo is of mostly Ford signage including two from Quebec. All are originals, including the transformer of the neon sign.

I've been trying to buy that Ford Service arrow in neon for at least 40 years. They are cool. At a Ford dealership closing in Maquon, Illinois back around 1980 they sold one at auction that was still hanging outside the service door. Of course the neon was long gone, and the birds were nesting inside the can where they were getting in via a small rusted out hole. Sign was maybe a 5.0 out of 10.0 (10.0 being mint) It sold THEN as-is for $3500 as I recall Man that was the coolest old Ford garage ever. Built in 1924, had a canopy out front where visible pumps sat, a removable iron lid there where they would dump coal and it would go into the drive-in repair shop/basement area to a coal fired hot water heater...also had repair and body shop upstairs. Talk about neat!!! All white glazed brick still in real good shape. |

Re: Vintage Ford V8 Signs
Here are a couple pictures of 2 Ford signs I owned in the 1990"s. Wish I still had them but at the time a profit was more in need. Poor photo quality due to taking a picture of a picture.

Re: Vintage Ford V8 Signs
Still have the rectangular sign, it’s dated 1919 on the back. Wish I still had the double sided oval but it really took up a lot of space. Sold it bout 25 years ago. Bought the Parkers Landing sign about 30 years, it’s embossed tin and about 36” long. I’ve seen reproductions of it but much smaller and not embossed.

Re: Vintage Ford V8 Signs
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?

Re: Vintage Ford V8 Signs

Re: Vintage Ford V8 Signs
What a brilliant thread this is! I love David's Quebec V8 sign and Brad's Budapest shield! A few more European ones...
