urban artifact
This sign is all that's left of a used car lot that closed years ago. I love the little sputnik-like finial at top. There's still an arrow that points to what is now a vacant lot on Foothill near Courtland Ave.

ReplyDeleteThis is definitely late '50s-early '60s in style!
«Louis» envisions this sign all spiffed up, the lights working and a '61 Ford Starliner hardtop parked under it... ;-)
Courageous and effective photo. I must include a bit of urban realism in Jorvik DP.
ReplyDeleteOld style and a very nice photo:-)
ReplyDeleteWish you a great day!
What a cool find! Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery cool sign indeed! Hope someone will save it for a museum or so...
