This original sign was repainted and restored, and was initially used by a dealership somewhere out west. The double-sided tin sign measures 45x150x15 inches and uses red and blue neon on both sides to highlight the lettering and oval. An exceedingly rare sight, most Lincoln signs are accompanied by a Mercury callout, not Ford; and sometimes, a Ford sign will be accompanied by a Mercury banner.

A stunning dealership replica, this reproduction sign shows five neon colors over ceramic. Created by a master sign maker, it measures an impressive and imposing 60x146x8 inches. While it looks like the original that was produced so long ago, it offers the animation and potential peace of mind with modern electronics, wiring, neon, and so on. While so many demand authentic original pieces, and there’s nothing wrong with that, there’s no shame in acquiring a fun reproduction of the original that has a few new tricks. It’s also a lot easier to insure.

When it comes to collections that harken back to simpler times, it’s hard to beat the Irv Strohm Collection.

One of the many pieces of the Jeff Hamilton Racing Collection, this 100 percent cotton XL-sized racing jacket boldly depicts sponsorship from Valvoline with support from Roush, Ford, Mac Tools, and Goodyear.

A limited edition of 7500, this is number 5440 and is complete with a display stand and three Corvette C5s - a red 1998 convertible, a white 1999 hardtop, and a blue 1997 coupe. The 1:18 scale cars show a bit of wear, but overall seem to present very nicely, like the display stand. Sadly, the original packaging doesn’t accompany the set, but it would still be a very cool display piece.
