Here is a couple that I have. The Budweiser came off of the Municipal Liquor Store in Big Stone City, SD. Got it from some friends of mine who were friends of one of the bartenders. Bought little 7-up sign at auction for $1.

I love light up signs - all are originals except the Mr. Norms neon.

The only 'real' sign I own. It is actually in my office now. I made a wood frame for the back and bolted the sign to it and hung it on the wall like a picture. So it isn't in my garage but unfortunately I spend more time in the office than in the garage. So I brought a little garage to my office :beer:

Here's a couple old dealership signs a friend give me :). These would have been the big signs out front of the dealership. One is a pontaic that I removed from the frame and spread out so you can see it on the side of my small shed. The GM truck one is behind the shed and still intact. Hope y'all like? I may sell the GM sign if anybody is interested? Thanks in advance!

This is my first post so I hope I am doing everything correctly and my uploads will work. These are a few signs I have put up while I am working on the shop. Most are still in my Dad's garage until I get some more interior work finished. My shop is still very much under construction so please be forgiving of the mess and lack of organization. By the way I am loving the forum and all the ideas I am getting from it.

Thanks for the compliment Nighttrain. I do plan on posting some more pics but only after I get it closer to being usuable. Six Mile is not far at all...maybe 15 minutes or so. My family was actually from there 3 or 4 generations ago.

I have a few old signs but being from Detroit would really like to find a "Woodward Ave" street sign. Spent a good part of my youth crusing and racing there. There used to be a guy "The Sign Guy" who made them but he has disappeared.

Thanks, I too love the Firestone sign. Me & a buddy bought it off the origional owner's son - right off the building. His dad got it I think he said in the 40's - not sure if I remember correctly on that.

There's a Delco Clock (rectangular) and a Quaker State thermometer (round) to the upper right of the Firestone sign. A side note about the Firestone sign - I wired up a circuit that "pulses" the arrow. 2 short bursts followed by one longer burst - I thought it'd be cool - sorta like an old flickering sign.



What's the clock to the upper right of the Firestone sign? BTW that Firestone sign is awesome!

Not necessarily a 'sign', but my grandfather ran a garage back in the 30's and this is one of the gas globes he used. Its been tuned into a lamp (sorta).
