Don't know much about this Ford dealer sign. I am told it pre-dates neon oh 1910-1920? I really don't like stuff this old but I figured how many times are you going to find one of these hanging in an alleyway garage? It has lightbulbs in the middle to lightup at night. Have yet to plug it in hopefull

    I like the sign, but it looks like it says FeORD to me?

Killer Sign!... Ask around on oldgas.com or cheesepitstop.com bet
someone there can date it and tell you the worth!
Just be prepared to get offers... those guys love that stuff...
you'd think they think it's a soda machine or something? smile

I guess the FORD script was a bit more fancy back then?

I'd put it in the teens, maybe early 1920'. The cool meter went of the chart, great score!
