Default Re: MOTION SIGN FOR SALE

I would like to Publicly Thank Verne Frantz,& his Lovely wife Janet,for their Hospitality they offered me this last weekend.They really made me feel welcome after I personally drove 15 hours one way to Bring this Iconic Symbol of American Muscle Car history Home to Illinois safe & Sound in my own Vehicle.
Cross Country Shippers would have destroyed this Fragile sign within minutes of acceptance.(No Disrespect meant)
Vernes Tenacity in acquiring this sign from the begining have to be recognized as well.
The sign itself has exceeded all my expectations,and as I stare at it here now,the wheels are in "MOTiON" to have it illuminate as it once did,and possibly the letters brought back to there original shade of Red,if not they will be left as is,not Substituting them,...and that's it.
Plans are to maybe bring it to VetteFest this November,and then SCR8 next summer.It deserves to be seen and touched,not stored away in a container.
It really does give me goose bumps staring at it,& I hope it will to others in the Future.

Thank You Verne Frantz,for all you've done,& continue to do.
Rick Peters
P.S...Pennsylvania has got to be one of THE most Beautiful Scenic States I have ever driven through!

Some people bring their cars to a show, Rick brings his sign.

Do like the Blues Brothers did with the speakers, Mount that baby to the top of your car and drive to SCR8. Make sure it is wired so it will light up on the trip down and back!!!

I understand he opened both the drivers and passenger side windows. Slid it thru and drove with his hazard lights on all the way.

No,
We packed it a little more carefully than that.

Glad you made it home safe and sound Rick. I know exactly what that tingling feeling is like that you're having now.

It was a pleasure meeting you. Hope I didn't bore you with all that '62 crap I have lying around.

Verne
