Has anyone ever seen a corvette dealer sign like this?
I am looking to see what the corvette showroom sign looks like? Here is a pic of other makes of the sign I am looking for. If anyone has one please post pics of the sign thanks
In the '60s most dealers probably sold less than a dozen Corvettes a year, and only carried one or two in stock. Today there are fewer dealers with much larger average volume including Corvettes.
Would think any surviving 50-year-old Corvette dealer signs are already in collector hands and it would take big $$$ to acquire one.

Very true - my Dad worked at several Chevy dealerships in the mid-to-late 60s. Corvettes were considered by most to be impractical, carry big insurance premiums, expensive, and, the rumor was that you could die in a fender bender in a fiberglass car.
There were exceptions, Rosenthal Chevrolet in Northern Virgina sold quite a few Corvettes; largely due to the proximity of the Quantico Marine Corps base. Those guys LOVED Corvettes

I don't think so. That's the 63-65 Corvette logo, and those signs are likely from 67. It likely was similar, but it probably used the 66-67 Corvette script.
The Camaro didn't come out until 67, and that is the 67 Camaro logo (68-69 was different). I'm pretty sure those signs are from 67, and if so, the corresponding Corvette sign, would have used the more upright 66-67 Corvette script logo.

My car was originally sold by Rosenthal. My family lived in Fairfax County when I was growing up and my dad bought his '61 and '64 Impalas from Rosenthal.
