No Reserve: Goodyear Service Station Sign

The vehicle is a 1960s Goodyear Service Station Sign, a distinctive vintage piece that once greeted motorists at Goodyear tire service stations during the heyday of American automobile culture. This sign is not just an artifact but a vibrant icon of a bygone era, with its large metal letters arranged in a classic cursive layout spelling out "Goodyear." The sign's rectangular background panel bears the iconic winged-foot logo of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, a timeless symbol of quality and reliability in tires. Standing tall at approximately nine feet wide and five feet high, this imposing sign is not merely functional but an art deco statement, reflecting the bold and optimistic spirit of mid-20th-century American design. The sign's robust construction, featuring metal letters adhered onto a painted aluminum backboard, attests to its durability and resistance to outdoor elements over decades. It was originally designed to be seen from great distances by passing drivers on highways, invoking associations with open roads, road trips, and the romance of travel during this golden age of automobiles.
