“For sale is an extremely rare 1950s Willys-Jeep Dealership lite-up showroom window sign in excellent condition AND IN FULL-WORKING ORDER. Sign States PERFORMANCE PROVED “Jeep” 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES WILLYS…WORLD’S LARGEST MANUFACTURER OF 4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES. Sign has 3-48″ fluorescent bulbs…one red, one white, and one blue. The white bulb is non-functioning and needs to be replaced.

The sign blinks for 5 seconds and then stays on for 5 seconds intermittently as when it was new. It’s very unusual to find one of these where the timer still works like new… and this one does. The faceplate is near perfect with the exception of one very fine scratch on the backside probably caused when someone slid it out to replace a bulb.

The scratch is barely visible and does not extend the full-length of the faceplate. Please look at the faceplate images very carefully. The scratch shows up in the ninth image. I’ve only been able to find one of these on line which sold at a Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction in 2008 for $1680.00. Judging from the picture of it this one I have here is in much nicer condition….AND IT STILL WORKS. T

he power chord is in good shape having no splits or cracks. The chains are in decent shape with only a small amount of surface rust. Sticker on the back states “NEON PRODUCTS INCORPORATED” Lima, Ohio. The housing measures 49-1/2″ x 13-1/4″ x 7-3/4″. It does have some areas of minor surface rust (see images). No dents, dings, bashes or damage of any kind however. This is a very colorful and attractive sign and looks even better when it is lit up. You won’t be disappointed. $1650.00 O.B.O. All”
