Bought some pretty cool items that I thought I would share.

In 1945 this neon Chevrolet Super Service 42" sign, was installed at Morgan Hill Chevrolet in Morgan Hill, CA. Sign was painted over in 1962 and was Taken down in 1971. The paint etched the blue porcelain and I have been unable to get the blue to come back up. Other than that very minimal porcelain loss on either side.

Chevron Dealer Sign.

Thanks for posting. I've only seen Bowes tire repair items in this area. I didn't know they marketed the other items.
