That has GOT to be a fantasy sign! I don't follow dealership signs, but all the lettering within the bowtie, slants to the left so badly, that I felt like I was sliding when looking at it!

Looking at the completed auction, I have to agree with Dennis that the first one posted IMO is real.

Dave why do you think that first sign is fake?


Thanks

the sign looks good... but I would question the authenticity as well. Weren't all these signs double sided? They all were designed to hang from a mount.
