MrEarl Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Saw this 36" Valve in Head Motor Cars sign for sale on eBay and don't recall ever seeing one like it before. Has anybody? Buick was always big on using the Red White and Blue from the beginning so don't doubt it is probably the real deal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/201300887107?rmvSB=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Gelinas (XP-300) Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I have never seen it either. I wonder if it was done local as opposed to it being done by a sign maker authorized by Buick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Doesn't appear to be porcelain, I would think I Buick generated it would have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick5563 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The brush strokes I saw were where chips had been touched up with paint. It is most noticeable around mounting holes. The sign looks off with the red on it. In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If it is real, It should have been left alone and not touched up IMHO. Nothing like original patina. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
