Chevrolet's Art Deco Dealer Clock Sign Available Again
The General Motors Heritage Center is proud to announce the addition of an exciting limited edition, art deco Chevrolet neon-clock sign to its collection of precision-made scaled vintage dealership neon sign reproductions.
Sterling Heights, MI (PRWEB) December 13, 2007 -- The General Motors Heritage Center is proud to announce the addition of an exciting limited edition, art deco Chevrolet neon-clock sign to its collection of precision-made scaled reproductions.
"Light the Way to Your Place of Business... The Best Time Money Can Buy" is how the Walker Sign Company described this stunning, very rare, 1930s Chevrolet Neon Dealership Sign in their catalog. It was developed to tie in with Chevrolet's National Outdoor Clock Bulletin Program of that era. The sign featured a built-in Telechron clock and art deco detailing throughout.
"This sign is one of the first Chevrolet designs to take advantage of development of neon for advertising in the early 1930s," states Greg Wallace, curator of the GM Heritage Center. "It is one of the most highly sought-after and collectible Chevrolet neon signs ever made," adds Mr. Wallace. A maximum of 25 will be produced.
Measuring 60 inches wide, the sign is accurately scaled to a size that makes it practical for use in an enthusiast's home, garage, shop or place of business. Built by the same fine American craftsmen that produce the other signs in the GM Heritage Vintage Neon Dealership Sign program, this art deco masterpiece will make an outstanding addition to any collection.
Priced at $6,500 FOB Houston, TX, the Chevrolet Neon-Clock sign will have a serial numbered plaque attached and come with a certificate of authenticity from the GM Heritage Center.
The GM Heritage Center Vintage Neon Dealership Collection now includes eight replicas: one Buick, two Cadillac, two Chevrolet, one GMC Trucks, one Oldsmobile and one Pontiac scaled reproduction. For additional information, or to order any of the collectible neon signs visit the GM Heritage Collection's retail website (www.gmphotostore.com) or call toll free 1-800-558-2550.
