1959 Porcelain DX single sided sign. Large sign over 9 feet long and over 5 feet high, doesn't fit in my garage so it may go out on the outside of the barn, not sure yet. Condition of this sign is probably a 6.

Thanks stonesfan1, trunkn20, and mooreantique.
Thanks leighannrn and dusty.
we have a double sided sign just like this on a big orange "I-beam" at the little store where i work. have been offered $$ several times for it.
Unfortunately Chevy 59,these large 1960s station curbs signs seem to be out of fashion right now. I'd go ahead and set this sign behind your barn until the market swings back around, porcelain signs were made to be displayed outdoors so I don't think the weather's going to affect much. If anything, just wax the bare metal areas and wait. Mike
