It would be cool to reproduce these in 1/2 or 1/4 size using modern tech.
a guy could get a lot of jeep for 12K..
A friend made a similar size 3D Studebaker sign (without neon) for a couple of hundred dollars.
So unless you have to have the real deal, they can be reproduced for a fraction of what sign collectors (or wealthy marque collectors) pay.
