WENT TO THE AUTO-MANIA SHOW TODAY IN ALLENTOWN , PA. IT WAS LIKE A MUCH SMALLER INDOOR CARLISLE...NICE BUT TOO SMALL!
IT WAS ALSO THE MEETING OF 3 COLLECTORS....TWO SEASONED AND ONE NEW. THE MEETING BETWEEN MIKE (gulfstuff) AND MYSELF WAS TO EXCHANGE FUNDS FOR A SIGN I'VE WANTED FOR A LONG TIME. MIKE MADE THIS ONE AVAILABLE TO ME AND WORKED WITH ME TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL. COLOR ME EXTREMELY HAPPY.
FOR THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHIP/DENT @ 12 O'CLOCK THE SIGN IS VERY NICE AND CLEAN. I AM SHOWING 2 PICS OF THIS FOR YOU TO DROOL OVER!!


THE SECOND SIGN WAS AN EBAY PURCHASE AND CAME FROM THE NEWER COLLECTOR (DOING A NEW GARAGE WITH HOT ROD). SAYS HE FOUND SEVERAL OF THESE ATLANTIC SIGNS IN AN OLD WAREHOUSE ON THE
FLOOR...ABOUT 19 OF THEM. THEY WERE ALL PRETTY MUCH ROUGH AND
WELL ABUSED...SHAME, HUH? HE MADE THIS ONE AVAILABLE ON EBAY AND IT ENDED @$31.00. NOT BAD FOR A BARN HANGER, EH? AND CERTAINLY BETTER THAN A CERTAIN MINUTE MAN
76 SIGN THAT TOM STOVER HAS! LOL!!

OOOOOOHHHHHH OOOOOHHHH Wait till Hubba sees that one, he will be after it like a FAT KID on a SMARTIE !!!......LMFAO...

Cool sign , dont they always mean a lot more when you have to plan and wait to get it and make payments on it??? A lot different than just showing up at a swap and buying it!!

It will look great in your red sign room..dodogas

Great looking sign,even the barn hanger.

WOW ! ! ! That Flying A sign didn`t look that good when it was in my garage. Can I have it back ?
Glad you are enjoying it Doc. It was a pleasure co-ordinating it all with you. You're a real gentleman. Please keep in touch.

Mike, My Flying "A" savior! I owe my happiness all to you! Did you ever finish the deal with that other nicer one? I want to put my sign in front of the fireplace (I don't use it - ever since the squirrel incident!), but that bad boy is like an inch too tall! Still thinkin'.....oooh! I hurt myself! LOL!!! Let me know if ya get more Tydol, FA stuff....or gulfstuff too...hey that's you!
Keep in touch.
