It looks like this common sign, but black and red signs came later.
Do you know what year the photo was taken? The car can help date it, but it may be a 20 year old car in the pic.

That would make sense then for the red and black sign I posted. Josh, I think your mystery is solved. The red and black sign I posted was used in the 50's and that's when this photo was taken.

Thank you guys. I had no idea when it was taken because he died before I was born. He had 9 model T & A's in there at one point my grandmother said. Wish i would of met him, we share a lot of interests. Maybe I'm him reincarnated haha!
