Was down in Detroit today following up on a lead i got of a 32 Ford Pickup and passed one of the old sign's i like still hanging.  I stopped and took some pic's of it....i figured i better before something happens to it??    Craig

That's a cool old sign. If you could get a "full on" view of it, you might be able to make a decal or maybe just a paper copy in whatever scale. Of course, I imagine that you already knew that. Reminds me of a RAINBO bread logo on an old screen door that I "photoshopped" and made a decal to apply to a 1:35 scale screen door. Now, I want some other old screen door logos but need to start building screen doors! This may be a "Texas" thing, some of my buddies up north never have seen screen door logos.

I was trying to guess what area of Motown you were in Craig and I guessed Gratiot Ave ...... ?!

There's a neat old sign , and famous old garage around Woodward and 12 mile , that I see when I go to the Woodward Dream Cruise . If you're into rods you've probably heard of Vinsetta Garage .

Thanks for these photos, I added them to my neon sign file.   Good to photograph these when you find them, as they are rare now and who knows what might happen to it tomorrow?

Great sign! Lots of character.

Cool sign! We have a lot of old signs here. I took this one the other day while researching train cars for some weathering inspiration.

I think it says, "Texas Barbecue House".

Jester,   Looks interesting but what does the sign say??     Craig

Ray is correct! The other pic had better weathering.
