Kz, Don't waste your time with some guy like this... he is just trying to stir the pot. He is new and likes reproduction junk, he's a decorator...
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

What a shame. I think my favorite part of the hobby is walking into someones garage and seeing something I've never seen before. Maybe catching a picture on here of something fantastic. These people are stripping that awe factor away with these repops. They are opportunists, always on the hunt for money. Like a purse snatcher!!! They are copycats, zero creativity, zero imagination, zero responsibility!!!
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

there's the mispelled frontier sign...I would assume that all of them are repops.

...I don't think all of the Chicago Motor Club signs are fake...there's just a lot of them out there...
...now, the one in the photo, I ain't rightly sure about...but the 'BONDED SERVICE STATION' type is definitely different than on the originals I've seen, and there should be FOUR hanging holes...so it's probably fake too....
