I was thinking it would be cool to get some vintage or repop vintage looking light up signage for garage art ? I guess they are pretty rare and go for some serious money? Anyone know where to look? Post up some links if you find something on craigslist or something?
This one has been for sale for a bit. Maybe he'll work with you on price. :))

:whiteflag: Wow that's insane! We had a local Chrysler dealership here that was torn down. It had a service sign with the Chrysler penestar on it. I meant to go get it before it was demoed but I was too late.

That is exactly what happened here. I was driving by the old dealership and it was literally being torn down and there was this sign on a pole close to the driveway. I happened to be driving a service van, took off a 12' ladder and got up there then took out the sign faces. I gave one to a friend of mine that actually was a mechanic for that dealership in the late 60's and 70's.
I hear there is this guy name Cody that has a sign business that could possibly make a Mopar sign for less than 200k!
:rofl:
Not a sign, but I love this old photo!!!
Not a dealership sign, but an ad in a magazine. Anybody remember seeing it ?????
if only we knew a signmaker ...... :pokeeye:
I was thinking about this recently too ... I know there is a LOT of variability (size/options), but what kinda cost would be involved to make some retro signage ? I know thats a wide open question, but I think there is a market out there.
Making the sign is not hard. It's getting licenses to use the images and logos that makes it a little tough.

I didn't even think about that aspect. since Plymouth is now defunct, does that open up the licensing gates for some things?
That I don't know. :notsure: Would think they would at a very minimum keep their trade marks.

I had a '70 Road Runner convertible that sold NEW from Bayshore Chrysler-Plymouth during their "Going-Out-of-Business" SALE
Not a sign, but some sort of lot of old cars. Kori Alexander posted it in the Facebook group.
I see one Challenger!!!!
Is it the white one?
That's the only one I could find. :yes:

Brings back memories.
I bought my first car and Mopar a 1965 383 Dodge Coronet 500 from him in 1967. He not only "stood on his head" but gave me a black and white Polaroid camera as a gift. lol
I still have the original pictures of the car that I took with it somewhere.
