“Buick Valve in Head Neon Sign” Newburgh N.Y. 1986

Yesterday on July 4th I posted a picture of a pre-war Chevrolet sign, but should have posted this beauty because of the flag…

These days porcelain neon signs are worth a fortune but I never collected neon…Oh well, more spilled milk.

“1953 Plymouth Cambridge” NYC 1987

I spent several summers in the back of a ’53 Plymouth. We bought one for $50 and it refused to die. Even without a battery it served us well, as we always parked it on top of a hill and gave it a “Push Start”

I’m not the first photographer to notice that these Plymouths sort of have a face when photographed from this angle…
