You'd have to really love Packard stuff. Condition is everything and the lettering and other areas are in rough shape. Buy what you like but for me, it would be a pass.

Thanks - I\'m sure that's exactly what it is. I remember similar signs being used in passenger busses also. I've got a similar Ford Weekly Purchase sign also and will try to get a photo of it later.

Here is another neat piece of advertising. This is printed on heavy card and framed under glass. Sorry about the reflections but you can see the great coloring.

I will be at the HCCA tent at 10:00 on Wednesday with the rest of the Brass Buick group.
I'll be there sometime - always try to make it to the BBQ lunch.

Nice find. I didn't get much chance to catch the swap meet his time. Weather and judging kept me occupied. Great event and I'll back again next time. Enjoyed seeing you there.

Get rid of those silly wheels and join a VW club. That's your market as well as best info on value.

Terry, Your collection is awesome.
Thanks Larry. I've collected spark plugs longer than anything else. If I had to quit today i'd be happy with what I've got. The interesting thing about plugs is everyone can have some great stuff. Many times I've seen small shoe-box sized collections and in there are a few plugs I never knew existed.
More plugs coming provided my luck and feet don't wear out. See you all at Hershey. Don't forget to bring plugs for me!

Gee,another conversation about no title! Imagine that! Best advice to the OP is
1. Learn and understand laws and procedures in YOUR STATE.
2. Try to search this forum for previous related discussions.
People here are very helpful but you'll discover this is one of the most commonly found questions.
And- despite pages of great info, those who post the question seldom bother to report back about how they resolved the problem. Hopefully we'll learn more about how things work out.

Have been vending at Carlisle the past few years in the North Field.
We had a good problem this year that sales were so well that we called it a week Friday Afternoon since inventory was low.
People were buying Tuesday through Friday. Thursday was one of the busiest days ever with the aisles still being full late into the afternoon.
So, what were you selling that was in such big demand?

Sad. Not aware of the circumstances but reminds me very much of a similar situation. A friends car that was stolen not long ago. The enclosed trailer was actually the target. The car was recovered thanks to our own eagle eyed club members who spotted it after it had been removed from the trailer. I believe one of the perps is still in jail, but he took the fall for a larger ring of guys also involved. The trailers are often re-used as meth labs. My friends trailer was never recovered.
I doubt that cute Overland was specifically targeted. It reminds me very much of the one that was parked fir years on the front porch of the old AACA Hq building.
Hope things turn out. Please let us know.

This recent discovery was quite a surprise - it's a commemorative print from the Automobile Week event held at the Mt. Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The hotel itself was completed in 1902. It was, and remains today as part of the Omni Hotel chain, an elegant resort spa with a rich history - and a connection to motoring history.
Beginning in 1904, a "hill-Climb" race was held there over what was known as the Automobile Road up to the hotel. The event was also called "The Climb To The Clouds," finishing at the hotel. At that time, the road itself was a rocky, jagged, rough path that proved a serious challenge to early automobiles and drivers.
Some of the most famous early motorists though made the run, including Joan Cuneo, the year this photo was taken. This 1905 event was held in conjunction with the Glidden Tour that year, the second Glidden held.
This wonderful, historic print fits well in my collection, along with an original 1905 Glidden drivers badge, completion certificate and car banner from that tour.
Was thrilled to add such a historic piece of artwork to my collection and thought you'd enjoy seeing it.
I've added a photo of a Peter Helk prilnt depicting that event. It provides a good flavor the the excitement and challenged drivers had to face.

Another one recently acquired. There are reproductions on this one but they are done on aluminum and are small and square. This one is an original.

Makes no sense at all.
Recommend edit and include enough info so people can figure out what you want.

Your truck is fantastic. Every vehicle there was a winner. Best of the best.

They are 1/2" pipe thread plugs that were aftermarket items. Just a few of the thousands of different brand plugs made over the years. There were hundreds of different engines/cars and trucks that used that Size plug over the years, most common was the Ford Model T.

Here is my favorite Eclipse photo. I have another one spelled a little differently too.

Great stuff Ed. I've got a few watch fobs in the collection but this book is one of my favorite Pierce items. It was done as a promotional item for Pierce and includes factory photos, information about the assembly process, and details of the Great Arrow.
It's in fabulous condition and was given to me years ago by a good friend.

The graphic imagry of early automobilia is what really rings my bell. Whether it's a piece of sheet music, a magazine cover, postcard, lithograph or any other object from the early days of the automobile, as long as it has a striking image, I get excited. Sure some of it crosses over into other areas of collecting- advertising in particular, but when someone asks me what I collect, it's sometimes hard to get people to understand without seeing. Here are a few recent acquisitions -

Thanks for the great photos. I would have been there but had a conflict with the Charlotte Auto Fair. What are next years dates?

My chance at a lighted Packard Service dealership sign
in General Discussion
Posted
I've enlarged the photo and agree it seems as if someone has tried to repaint or touch up around the lettering. Even the Packard has some issues. To me the blue color is off too. I'm beginning to wonder...is it genuine? I'd recommend opening it up and looking at the back of the glass before buying. Orinals were not painted by hand. Visible paintbrush marks would tell the truth about its authenticity.
