Here's a fake Chevy sign that needs reporting... I saw this at an auction online this past weekend and knew someone was going to get ripped off. Lets try keeping someone else from being the next victim... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Genuine...=item566c235507

i notified seller & he has asked for proof of my claim. I can tell by his other listings that he's not meaning to mislead. So I've pointed out the problem areas of the sign to him & given him a picture of an original... the ball is in his court now to do the right thing.

That's what I say too....I have no knowledge on Chevy Signs....but, man that sign looks good to me, so I need an education here........cause if I saw that sign for $500 at a swap meet, I'd break my hand getting the money out fast enough!

I will agree that the first one is a repop. But im not convinced the second one is a fake. The fact that it is double sided and about the right color and size make me think real. What do the rest of you think?

2nd one:
Are there known originals that only say 'Service'... all I have seen have 'Sales & Service'
Bow tie and lettering appears to be wrong size/aspect as originals I have seen.
If someone has an original that looks just like the 2nd one, please post a pic

Just talked to a collector through text messages. I stand corrected on the 2nd one, it's legit. Thanks to all those that spoke up and led to this learning for myself
