About a year ago, I bought an old Ford neon dealership sign at an estate sale here in North Dakota! I had ideas of redoing it with new neon and in the meantime, along came Butch Greer and bought it from me! Butch took it to his neon man and had the neon reinstalled with a new can and transformer for each of the 2 halves! He hung half of the sign up at home and brought the other half to Iowa Gas!
Pretty nice ending for a sign that was found by a mans heirs, laying in the weeds by a building! Makes me feel good to have been a part of this story! Great job Butch!
