Ford Dealership Sign Sample
Another rare, obsolete Lunch Pail goody !For over 50 years, pre-approved 3rd-party vendors offered lot signage to Ford\'s US dealer network. Period catalogs show a hundreds of designs, from simple to fancy in many shapes & sizes.But by the early \'60s, Dearborn had second thoughts. In many cases, the famous Ford logo was hard to see amidst the spectacle of huge, colorful lettering and/or flashing neon lights.It was decided that a new \'standard\' type was needed. Dealers were free to keep their old signage, but they would have to buy a new one, too, and it had to be erected right out front.Today, Harvard Business School might call this a branding policy to foster and leverage customer loyalty. Back then, they considered it just good business. Simpler times, you know?You\'re looking at a sample of the new \'standard\' signage which was mandatory, beginning in 1967. Promos like this were sent to all US dealerships, along with official notice of the new rule.As shown in my photos, this example is in truly mint condition. It\'s been sitting in my office display for a long, long time. Won\'t it look great on your workbench, bookshelf or office desk?You\'re looking at the real deal, a small piece of Genuine Ford history and a guaranteed conversation piece. There\'s no reserve so don\'t miss out!
