Hope it's saved.A lot of old neon signs are being lost because of removal costs or some big corporations can't be bothered taking the time to save them.

No problem taking that out with my 28 ton crane but I would have to drive it from nj. Lift it out of ground but you got to be carful dismantling the signage itself. Lay it on a 53' trailer and put it in front of someone's car museum or garage man cave. That sign has to be saved! If I was closer I would offer my services. There has to be some members nearby who has a tree service friend with a 100' crane and is a car lover who would pro bono his crane and trailer. Even if he has to pay the crane bill it's well worth it. That sign is $50,000 if not more new.

what a shame!

Re: Z~Frank Chevrolet sign FREE
 

Although the lighting and Chevrolet letters were already gone, the top Z-Frank red sign pieces that break off when it hits the ground would've been worth nabbing in the end?

One of the best 1967 Corvettes I've ever owned came from Z Frank Chevrolet. I remember that dealership as a kid growing up in Chicago.

I worked for the Frank's Zollie, Chuck and Jim.

It was quite an interesting enterprise and a Chicago Icon.
