Can anyone give me more information about this sign? It measures about 7' long, 4' high, and 1' wide. It is porcelin with neon light tubes. It was just recently removed from the crate it was delivered in to the dealership. It has never been used. I am wondering its age and if any one has other information about this type of memoribilia.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
It is a porcelain neon dealership sign - This sign would be from the 30's or 40's.
It is collectable but not as collectibl as say Ford- Hudson cars are somewhat collected and restored but not as much as pontiac, Ford, chevrolet etc. It is NOS (New Old stock) that makes it more valuable. If you ahve the history that helps as well -- let me know if you ahve any questions
hey really great piece love to get hold of one myself for my sons room his name hudson
If you can, Please put it carefully back into the original crate the way it was b4 removal.
It is going to get chipped and bent if left like that.
Please call me if you have ANY questions 509-847-5893
