From the shape of it I would say it's a Goodrich tire sign that has been repurposed as has the Car Wash sign to the left of it.

Picture is awesome. I have 100's if not 1000's I have grabed from the net over the years. I would post more but not sure about copywrite issues with posting pictures. Don't know who ownes most of them.

Here's another nice one...

I tried to enhance it a little to bring out the words. I think Marc (Wagz) is right, "Spark Plugs Cleaned, 5 Cents". It looks as though there is another word in there, lower right to the 5.
