Picked this sign up from a friend of a friend that is liquidating some of his cars and memorabilia. Has a lot of "patina" but is a cool find and seems to pretty rare from the limited research that I've done.

For some reason the picture was rotated when it was uploaded to the forum.  I tried to find a way to edit it and rotate but couldn't see a way, so I just left it. :)

Maybe a moderator can rotate them for me?

Looks circa mid 50's to me.  If original would be
porcelain coated.  I have a repo in my garage.

Very nice!

Rob,
No worries.
My comment was to kid around with Bobby - nothing more.

Have fun,

I didn't take it negatively. Was trying to show another picture to show it a little better.  You can see the tears in the metal and rust.

The gold V would indicate an anniversary celebration. The Cadillac V was gold from 1952 thru 1958.
