Looking For Dealership Info Lyons NY for a Sign

Hello:

Wow this is some site!

I am trying to research the origin of an old Packard Service sign I came across (the rare one shaped like a radiator).

I was told it came from the old Packard Dealership in Lyons NY. I wasn't sure if anyone on here may know if Lyons NY had one or any other info.

I have communications into all the local historical organizations in the Lyons NY area. If I hear anything from them I will pass it along.

Didn't want to leave any stone unturned. Thanks for your time. Feel free to email me direct at mbarkee@fltg.net

Matt

MBarkee,

Share a picture of your sign. Post in in the Packard pictures section of the website. I would be a great addition.

Do you have a PIN as well?

Matt,
to Packardinfo. Besides the sign do you gave a Packard? If you do, could you please include it(the Packard) in the Owner's Registry together with a pic, any known history and how you acquired it?

Thanks everyone for the information.

Sorry, I do not have a Packard. I have a 59 Ford Convertible. Nice car, but not as nice as some Packards I have seen. I have always admired Packards, especially the prewar ones.

I will look into posting a picture of the sign in the Packard Pictures section later today.

I am just trying to gather the provenance on the sign. I would love to keep it, but unfortunatley I think I am going to have to sell it. It's a fresh piece that has never been on the market. I see there is a For Sale section on here.

Thanks again.

Does the sign look like this?

I found this on the web awhile back and save it as I want to have a sign shop make me something similar for my garage.

Yup, that's the sign. I decided to list mine for sale. They are rare and bring a good $$ as they rarely come up for sale. I had to pay for mine, but time to let it go. There are repops out there but much smaller. Originals are over 3 feet tall and over two feet wide The originals are double sided as well. I have researched this sign ALOT.

Thanks for the great site.
