The Buick-Pontiac dealership in my town is going to relocate and the existing building is going to be torn down. I managed to buy the signs that have been on the building for as long as I can remember. This morning I managed to get them down and moved home... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif http://www.yenko.net/attachments/206885-tn_P1010004.JPG

Above the right hand side of the u and above the c are two bullet holes. I'm told the Buick sign is pre WW2.

Absolutely.......not. Two sections of the Buick sign need fixing.

In the 'other' barn maybe? Or maybe the guys from Dream Car Garage are out cruising in them http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Kind of a good idea to move cars away from where the forklift was working. Mule is headed to Florida, TA vert is still in NY, Pace car is still at Indy, Red Witch is still in Detroit.

Looks awesome hung Charley! . Is the wall mounted Poncho 'chief' sign the same or similar as the 'new' one but single sided? .
Looks like there's enough room in the shop for doing a donut or two....in that deuce roadster maybe??? .

That is a similar sign that was a two sided sign made into two single sided signs. Yes that is a 32 hiding behind the TA.

Pretty Slick Charley---Is that Buick and Pontiac sign vintage?.-Always thought that Pontiac head was the coolest hood ornament when I was a kid---

God that's a spectacular sight!
That floor looks much better too.
All you need now is a Sunoco 260 Blender pump sitting underneath the OK Used Cars sign.

I agree..a very cheap one.....

I dunno Charley, your place still looks a little underdressed. Plus I saw this place yesterday that had really nice black carpet in it instead of concrete... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

How did I miss this post? Cool deal Charley.

My wife asked what that Mercedes was doing in with all of those cool cars! I had to explain that it had a 'few' horsepower under the hood... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

BTW, since no one has asked lately... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Can-I-Have-It.gif all? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
