Durant Motors provided a wide variety of signs to it’s dealers. The signs came in a variety of sizes and materials. Some were illuminated, others were simply painted on sheets of tin. Regardless of material they are a very nice piece of history.

As always, if you can contribute a picture of a sign contact me.
