MOTION PERFORMANCE SIGN
 
I've always wondered what happened to this sign?
I am referring to the one that 427TJ shows in his 2nd post in his Old Photos topic.It's above the car bays.
Has anyone seen it lately,or know it's where abouts today?Does Joel R. still have it?
I think it would be a great piece of memorabilia to own today.
Please dont tell me it was destroyed??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Rick,
question on your question:
Was that the last sign that was still on the building after it was shut down and converted to an automatic transmission shop, or was there another sign on the building at the "end", perhaps a black and white one on the roof?

Good Question Verne.
I don't now,I just see this in the old pix from time to time,and thought someone could shed some light about.
I would hope somone was able to obtain it before the business changed over.
Maybe JoeC knows?

This was the last sign on the building when Motion closed it's doors in the 90's. My computer is still throwing fits, using a friends computer to stop by and say hello. JoeG https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Sometimes when a sign is changed the old one is put up on the roof (flat, tar and gravel roofed buildings) instead of being disposed of. Is the Motion building still there? You never know...

Re: MOTION PERFORMANCE SIGN
 
Yes, the building is still there. (At least it was last summer when I drove by). I do believe there was another sign. I'm just hoping someone can come up with a photo showing it on the building. I would think some old magazine features (or Motion ads) would reveal it.

Verne.

That sign I believe is gone, I live right near there and tried to get it when Motion moved out. There is a custom wheel/accessory place and a tranny shop there now. You don't think Joel would just leave that sign laying around do you...
