The sign sadly is not mine. (the price was $60,000.00) When I said they look great set up in the living room, that was the sellers living room, not mine. (I have a hard enough time leaving my Chevy High Performance magazine in the den.) I will try to find the old email from the seller (I would hope it was real and not one of those Ebay second chance scams). I did years back hear a story about the sign in a dumpster, by mistake of course, and when the alledged rightful owner came to claim it, it was too late. It then became the possesion of some lucky guy. I believe the seller said the metal case and plexiglass sign was in all original condition, just cleaned up. Still has Pink paint on the edges from when the building was painted. When I left the Baldwin area in the early 80's I thought the building was still yellow. I just passed the building yesterday and the east side has changed hands and paint again. Gone is the fluffy polish shop, now it looks like general auto maint.
