Take a look at this Ford neon I saw this weekend. The dealership just recently closed.

AWWWWW.
That would look so cool in somebody's garage, or maybe warehouse.

Did you try to buy it, as you probably already know those bring good money. I had a rough one and did real well with it.

There was nobody around. This was Friday morning. I don't know who bought the building, or if Ford still owns it. I might try to find out or will have my father-in-law try to check.  My mind tells me, "Tons of people must have asked about that sign", but you never know.

Ford doesnt own it, the building owner owns it. It would be like saying Coke still owns every 1950s Coke machine.

You're right. I was thinking that Ford might own the building, but really what I am wondering is if the dealership still owns the building or someone else.

You may be able to locate the building/property owner through the county property appraiser's web site...

I've done this before for other properties.
