This was one of my favourite sign projects in recent years. This sign started out as a dealership sign for Massey-Harris tractors, but was painted over when the dealership changed hands and became a Ford car lot. As I stripped off the layers of paint, it was fascinating to discover each of the dealerships that had painted over the sign. My customer wanted the sign to look like an old Plymouth Chrysler dealer sign, so I did up the double sided sign accordingly. I used an old Chrysler car emblem as my model for the Chrysler script. Thank you Judy for shooting the light blue panels. It was hard to give this one back!
Hand-lettered signs, helmets, parts, motorcycles, and all sorts of things I'm interested in.
