Vintage Dodge truck sign???


Todd B

Recommended Posts

I once saw a Dodge truck service sign on the web.  It was round with I think Dodge "Job Rated" truck service on it.  My wifes cousin wants to paint me one and I found a metal outdoor patio table that the legs are junk.  I think the table top will work perfect for a sign and now I can't find a picture of the sign I want her to paint. I searched everywhere on line ad all I can find is the square version. 

 

Help Please.

I have been.  I found it at Christmas  time but my cousin was to busy to do.  Now I can't find it anywhere.  Must be round, that will be hung in the front gable of my semi shed.

  151462892447_1.jpg likely wasn't this one..   but since we are getting a collection  a few more !

The one I saw was like the DODGE approved service DESOTO one.  I am having her paint it to say DODGE approved service Trucks.  I have a porcelain 42" round patio table top I want her to paint on.  It will be hung at the top of my semi shed gable end which is about 19' tall.  So if its close I will be happy.  Then again if someone don't like it they can just look away.

They sure seemed to go through lots of variations on their signage. Are any of these close?

 

Tossed in the Chrysler Plymouth one because I purchased one of those back in the 1970s for, I think, $40 and this image is of one on eBay that the seller wants $3600 for. I guess that makes it one of my better investments. :)

The original ones in the large 42" size If they are two sided, are worth big money.

 

The Desoto  -  Plymouth  'Approved Service'   like the one in the attached picture, is two sided and is worth well north of $3600 and  lol

 

I am glad Picasso didn't paint it or it would likely be abstract and I wouldn't be interested. On the other hand it would likely be worth a few million to someone.

That will be awesome..  We have a Fargo truck Version that hangs in my Dad's shop (where my Son lives) that I  will get up to and take a picture of it.

I think your wife's cousin could just have quite a cottage business going if she wants to do a few and if you can find reasonably priced porcelain patio table tops.

In fact I would love one of the ones .. lol that were never made !    Aka  Fargo Trucks -  Approved Service  -  Plymouth   or maybe one of the other ones..

 

Oh found two more Dodge ones.. I have attached pictures.
