hello all, i know ive posted these on here before but was wondering if anyone might recognize anything hanging in the windows of the garage all ive been able to identify for sure is in the the color photo in the window next to the pepsi machine there is a champion spark plug clock, which i was able to track down and buy one, its not the one from the garage its hard to say where it ended up at. wondering what the blue and white thing is in the window under the Exxon sign. ant help is appreciated. i know they are not the clearest photos but they are all i have.

Posting this pic only since I am a fan of ANY Champion Spark Plug CLOCKS….

I own this one, the ‘text’ rotates to display a longer message.
Cheers

Not sure if you noticed the shadow on the wall, but there is a PA vehicle inspection sign to the left of the Pepsi machine.

Sawed in half door is a nice reminder of things we used to do.

No, but I have an Exxon sign I’d sell you.

It’s the same sign as the one in the photo, but it’s actually two signs back to back in the original frame. And I’m nicer condition. $2500. I can send you pics of your interested.
