DUH!!! It took me a while to figure out it was the Fisher Body wagon...for a while there I thought you were really into Cinderella!!! But I don't think they make Glass Slippers with velcro!!!

That is the Porcelain sign that was on the outside of the Fisher Body plant in Grand Rapids Michigan. Installed in 1949........

I guessed the Fisher Body plant in Detroit, which supplied the Caddilac assembly plant. I saw that sign when I lived in GR, and knew several people that worked there.
Very cool sign. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Charley, pretty cool sign. I had no idea of its history when I saw it. It looks good over the Camaro.

I think the guy I bought it from got it in 95 from a guy that worked at the plant till it closed but I don't know when that was.
