So, I am looking for some info on this sign. I posted about it over on the “recent finds” thread, but I thought I might have more luck posting it on its own thread. Basically, I was given this Champion Spark Plug sign by a good friend. I finally found another piece to hang under it. I managed to track it down, only because I knew to look for a sign that said “Motor Tune Up”…. And that’s the problem with finding more of them. They don’t say “Champion” on the smaller pieces anywhere, even on the original box they came in. As a result, sellers don’t usually know what they go to, and don’t include the word Champion in listings, so you can’t search for them that way. You need to know exactly what they say on them, and I only know of these three particular signs. If anyone knows, or has pictures of any additional signs, I would love to know what they are so that I can look for them as well. Thanks for any help!
Messaged the guy that I just bought the “motor tune-up” sign from. He has the “mechanic on duty” strip (that I already have) for sale. He said that he had a third one…. But he doesn’t remember what it said! The hunt goes on……
Maybe search by height x width, and hole spacing in case a seller mentions that dimension in his listing.
I’ve been searching that way as well. Unfortunately, it seems that 36 inches is a really popular size for signs.
Start doing a search for vintage service stations and parts stores, maybe you ca. catch a glimpse of your sign hanging in the background and can see if there’s others to be had. But you might be at the end of the list of possibilities to be had. As a guy that collects signs and automobila also I’m digging your sign
This one's on Ebay right now. It seems crazy money to me for something that doesn't have Champion or any other big name company on it.
That one has been on eBay for a while. I paid $50 for my Motor Tune-Up sign… NOS in the original box. Now I just need the rest!
