That's really something Ed. I don't collect Ford signs nor do I have any knowledge of what to look for on a correct sign. I would assume however that an original sign probably wouldn't have the blue backs? Also, the blue looks a bit brighter than most Ford signs I've seen, which are usually a darker hue. Maybe that's just the sun on them as in the pic of the newspaper they look to be more of what I think of Ford blue. At any rate, very interesting that these were reproduced 63 years ago.
