Oldsmobile Service neon sign

It took me a long time to get these to where they are. Modeled after the original plastic dealership signs. It measures approx 52" across and 42" down the center. Many man hours are invested from design work, printing the art, making the can, countless trips back and forth to printer/neon people etc and of course the tubing. 2 transformers in each run off of a cord. I'm making 3 and 2 are already spoken for. The other 2 will be completed in the next 4-6 weeks. Now that the hard part of design is done I can always make more in the future but would need a deposit and some lead time. All the people that get involved with making one of these including myself are busy and these can't be whipped together in a week or two. If someone wanted delivery to the nationals in WI I could hold it and deliver as I will be there. Or I would prefer a local pick up. I am 90 miles north of chicago. $2900.

That is so neat Jason! Not easy making this stuff is it? But then again you did start from scratch.

Correct. These projects are usually filler work for the others involved which tends to delay but it can be a better price sometimes.

let's see...."I'm making 3 and 2 are already spoken for. The other 2 will be completed in the next 4-6 weeks." i think this equals 4. beautiful work,if i had the cash i'd have one hanging on the front of the garage.

I was asked if just the top portion could be done. Yes I could make the rectangular top with just the oldsmobile spelled out and the white border tube for $1500.
