Dealer Signs

Durant Motors provided a wide variety of signs to its 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, let us know.
