THIS LISTING IS FOR A VERY RARE 23″ X 54″ VINTAGE 1949 MERCURY 2-DOOR V8 COUPE SEDAN DIECUT CARDBOARD DEALERSHIP ADVERTISING SIGN. THIS SIGN IS FROM LATE 1948 FOR THE ADVERTISING OF A VINTAGE 1949 MERCURY COUPE SEDAN (WITH THE WORD “EIGHT” RUNNING VERTICALLY DOWN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT GRILL, MEANING ITS REPRESENTING A V8), IT’S A MERCURY AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP ADVERTISING SIGN. (I BELIEVE IT WAS HAND PAINTED BECAUSE I BELIEVE I SEE BRUSH STROKES) ITS MADE OUT OF THE THICKEST (VERY SOLID AND STURY/DURABLE) CARDBOARD I’VE EVER SEEN AN ADVERTISING SIGN MADE OF, (PLEASE REFER TO THE PICTURES) – (ITS SIMILAR TO MASONITE AFAR AS STRENGTH) MOST LIKELY SO IT WOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR INDOOR & OUTDOOR USE ASWELL IN A COVERED AREA, ALSO FOR ANY TYPE OF DISPLAYING, LIKE HANGING FROM THE CEILING OR MOUNTED ON THE WALL AND FROM THE COUPLE OF HOLES NEAR THE TOP OF THE SIGN ASWELL AS THE OLD GLUE STAINS ON THE BACK, IT WAS DISPLAYED BOTH WAYS. ITS IN VERY GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION WITH SIGNS OF USE CONSISTENT WITH 74-75 YEARS OF AGE HOWEVER DISPLAYS VERY WELL & WOULD GO GREAT HANGING ON THE WALL IN A GARAGE NEXT TO THE ACTUAL AUTOMOBILE ALL FRAMED & MATTED.
