Rockfla NICE signs!!

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.
