So I had planned on going to the Iola Swap Meet in Iola, WI this year, but plans changed when I broke up with my girlfriend and she got a new guy (we still remain great friends and we work together), so I told her that I would sit this one out, but if you find something that I absolutely need, let me know and if you can cover it, i"ll pay you back. Well...she came through the first day of the swap meet!

It's a BRAND NEW dealer sign that has never been used! She paid $70 and I'm happy to have it! I won't have it in my possession until Monday, but still. The white square is the area where the dealer put their little dealership sign. I can't wait to get it back here and plug it in!

Actually, there should be a Plymouth logo there. At least that's what mine has. If the neon tubing were red, there would be a Dodge logo in that spot.

Gramps, do u have a pic of yours? Id love to see it all lit up!

Give me a little time and I can get a pic for you but it's not working at present. It was working when I got it but I need to find someone who repairs neon signs and get it fixed.

Nice find on the sign sir!

Here are pics of mine lit and unlit...

Wow...thats amazing! I feel so lucky! I think im going to make a panel that has the Mopar "M" and "MOPAR" beneath it. That should look sick! Thanks for the pictures guys!

That should be easy to do. It's a piece of white Plexiglas with the logo imprinted on it. Should be bad-ass when you are done with it

Since its a neon sign it probably needs a transformer. Very high voltage secondary.

thats what i meant...

i was thinking fluorescent lighting for whatever reason.

BTW Dante...holy shit you got an awesome Mopar shrine going on!

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 3:57 pm

Thanks. That was an early picture when I bought my house. The real shrine is much larger. Most of it is still packed up because I still dont have anywhere to display it all.
