Late 1950s? Jeep Sign on eBay

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Cool sign!

“Awesome old Jeep sign. This sign is lighted. The interior part has 3 neon light baluster. 2 of them work but the third does not work. It is possible that it is supposed to be a blinker bulb or something and maybe that is why it doesnt work. It measures 4’1.5″ long x 8″ deep x 13″ high. It is being sold as is. As you can see there are some scratches and fading on the front. The metal frame is also rusted but seems solid. Add this sign to your show room or garage and it will be a great conversation piece. If you think its over priced, well its a Jeep thing and you wouldnt understand.”
