Thanks to Bill Bowmann I was able to obtain a real tall VW used cars sign… the ultimate sign for the BBT building. but transport of this signs is absolutely NOT easy… fragile!!
Thanks to Tom and Bill the sign came to California (thanks guys!!) and I picked it up last weekend from Tom’s place to drive it to the port… huge undertaking!
Neighbour and VW fellow Rick Clark was all hands on helping, thanks Rick!!
Loading is one thing, strapping it up so it don’t break is another… this is plexi…..
We strapped it up nicely….
Job done, Bob is happy boy! Hope the sign is happy too!
At the port I loaded the sign to a roofrack on one of the buses that’s coming over… so we ship it home… and it will be in our car building… come by in 2017 and see the magic sign that travelled the world!
Thanks to Shelley for the pictures!! Great job!!

Bob and staff!
I was delighted to make that huge old VW dealership sign available (but only to you!). Otherwise I would have held on to it, but I saw that desire in your eyes when you first saw it in my garage! Thanks Tom N. for all you did to help that sign along in it’s journey. Yes, that sign has seen quite a bit of transportation making it’s way to you. I’ll be so proud to see it hanging in the BBT warehouse/museum in June for the H-O and EBI festivities. Your old original “VW Dienst” porcelain dealership sign now is on display alongside my “VW Genuine Parts” porcelain sign in our living room in St. Louis, MO. When you coming back for a visit?
