Thread: Real Porsche Dealer signs

  1. #1

    Real Porsche Dealer signs

    Post pictures of your real original Porsche signs

    This sign is about 18 feet long

    The sign is in two sections

    What year do you think this is from

    I have been looking for a picture of a dealership with a sign like this one.

    With no luck can anyone help, I am sure it hung outside

    I am guessing it’s from late 60’s or early 70’s

    Thanks

    At the other end of the size spectrum, I bought this from a dealer back in 2009. It's about 18" tall. Item WP05013714.

    Here is the one that was copied for a lot of the fakes you see now. The fakes are smaller, shrunk to 4X8 so you can use standard plywood for a crate.

    I had two originals but ended up with three when I got a fake back for lending the original.

    Getting it home was a little scary.

    Thumbs up

    I think I posted this before...
    Got this one from a workmate at Disney about 20 years ago... It's a super lightweight plastic vaccuform...
    He knew nothing of it's history or what it was for, or who made the pull, or the buck... It's about 2 x 3 feet... I mounted it the way he gave it to me with the flash-gold and black... All I did was change the original red bars to orange... I used Chevy engine orange...
