Today a first for the museum! As seen in the pictures, the crew hung a genuine Brockway dealership sign in the main display hall. The panels of the 4' x 5' sign are original NOS Brockway dealership signs found in a warehouse a few years ago along with some old parts inventory of a long ago dealership. Peter Grimm purchased the panels, still in their original crate, and had a new florescent light box made as it would have been 35 years ago. On permanent loan, the sign now hangs proudly in the Brockway Museum!

Where did the other sign in the museum come from, the neon sign? Is that a new old stock sign or did someone have that made? Looked pretty sweet as well.

Thanks,
Jim

The neon sign was purchased from a vendor on E-Bay.

Stan-

Can you get me the name of the vendor? I would love to have a BrockwaY neon sign in my collection! Perhaps others would like to get a sign as well if we have enough interest in placing an order for a half dozen or a dozen signs! It might drop the price a bit and make it more affordable! Can't hurt to try!

Make you make an offer and don't pay the buy it now price. I would go in around half... (based on my experience...)

Damn, guess I'll have to wait on the sign for a bit. I met Pokey today and bought a new door for my 359. Great guy and a great deal. Now I need the lock plate that mounts to the door jamb for the pull down door handle.
Thanks Stan and Tom for the link and tip! I'll get one of these signs, hopefully sooner than later!

Jim
