Must have looked sweet at night! Cheers, Dave Edit: In looking at this again, the signs do not appear to be in the corporate typefaces for the neon signs. Since the small sign underneath says "all used cars," I wonder if this wasn't a regular Buick dealership?

That's what I thought at first, but then looked at it blown up. It looks like a couple of teenagers in a dancing pose. They are definitely growing out of her head -- maybe not a hat, just a scene from the Twilight Zone! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daves1940Buick56S Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Neil, you are correct. It was a real Buick dealership. Started in Brighton in 1940, moved to Framingham sometime in the 1950s since the picture we are looking at is identified in 1960.
