Ralph White sent in these photos of his car dealer sign collection. Awesome! Thanks Ralph for sharing these with us. We are not worthy.   Ralph says, "I collect early neon and porcelain auto dealer signs. 3 ft. to 30 ft. I also collect auto dealer clocks. I am looking to find early opal glass letters auto or gas and oil signs that need restoring. Will trade duplicates for any signs I don't have."

That is awesome... glad Ralph has shared with us. I love the neons and love that garage. I hope my next garage is built like that.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.
