Title: coke sidewalk sign from old gas station Post by: CocaMan on December 14, 2010, 08:00:49 pm I thought that you all might like to see a coke sidewalk sign before and after pics of when I cleaned it up using the works toilet bowl cleaner. It works great on getting rust stains out. This sign is all original. These are the before:

The ad is cool with a hand drawn picture of the sign, a 1950s cars gas pumps etc.

This one turned out as good as I could possibly hope for and it looks good in the garage.

Is that the one that was at the Chicago Show? TFJ Title: Re: coke sidewalk sign from old gas station Post by: CocaMan on December 15, 2010, 05:55:31 am No, I got this one from a friend in Maryland in August 2009. Did someone have a nice original at the Chicago show?
Title: Re: coke sidewalk sign from old gas station Post by: TomFromJersey on December 15, 2010, 09:12:44 am Yes, there was. Caught my eye. The seller was asking $1500 for it, don't know what it sold for.

Title: Re: coke sidewalk sign from old gas station Post by: CocaMan on December 18, 2010, 09:00:12 am Thanks a lot for sharing that, I can't say that I have ever seen an ad of it!
Title: Re: coke sidewalk sign from old gas station Post by: TomFromJersey on December 18, 2010, 09:30:40 am If I ever get my dream car (57 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser 2dr) that sign would just be killer to display with it at a car show.
