Couldn't resist the temptation of stopping by a place from the past in town on our way back home. This GMC dealership sign has to be 50 yrs old.

Shyguy · 05-31-2009, 10:46 PM

Cool pictures. Thank you for sharing.

I like the looks of the stepper.

Sammy · 05-31-2009, 11:06 PM

Thanks..A lil trickery looks like an ol photo from the past.

**special-K** · 06-01-2009, 04:49 AM

Man,what I`d give for that sign!! But,I`d rather see it hang another 50 years where it belongs.
That`s a great picture with both trucks and the sign.

jim zag · 06-01-2009, 05:37 AM

I love it!!!!!

72BlckButy · 06-01-2009, 05:44 AM

Sammy those shots turned out great!

It was great meeting you and firedog yesterday, so thanks for taking a detour on your way home and stopping by. I hope to return the visit to the St Louis area in the future.

Side note, they are actually remaking the old GMC signs, but the last time I recall seeing on it was in the 4-digit range.

BTW... I see that old square bodied bowtie off there in the back ground.

*67chevy3/4tontruck* · 06-01-2009, 10:51 AM

that is a great picture is there any chevy signs

Sammy · 06-01-2009, 10:59 AM

If I ever find one someplace I'll get my 69 and do it too don't worry..

abebummy26 · 06-01-2009, 02:07 PM

I've wanted to steal that sign ever since I can remember!

Number98 · 06-01-2009, 02:15 PM

I remember seeing that place! I was up there working a storm for Ameren last year and went right past it.

Cool shots!

Sammy · 06-01-2009, 05:00 PM

If it just wasn't so highly mounted on that wall it sure would be tempting. I bet that sign would be worth $300 or better to the right collector if it still lights up.

Sammy · 06-01-2009, 05:11 PM

Here is a close up of the sticker on the door I was after.

ChevLoRay · 06-01-2009, 05:56 PM

I don't remember where I found my avatar, but it's another old GMC logo.

Sammy, let me tell you... it still lights up; it's one of the coolest sights. It's one of the things I look forward to when I am in the area at night. I would give $300 today....

westofb · 06-01-2009, 10:23 PM

I grew up in Kirksville, the dealership has not sold new trucks for many years...I would quess back in the 80's. I think it was called Weber GMC, they sold all GMC models when in business from pickups up to semi tractors. They are still in the school bus business, I am not positive, but I believe they own the buses for the K-ville school district, I think the school district pays them to haul the kids to school instead of owning/operating the buses themselves.

72BlckButy · 06-01-2009, 10:43 PM

That's some good information westofb! I always noticed the fleet of bus' in the parking lot but never realized why.

Sammy · 06-01-2009, 10:55 PM

I think you need to carry a camera for a nite shot when it's lit up. Everyone here would luv to see it, as you can tell from the responses.

72BlckButy · 06-01-2009, 10:59 PM

I will try to do that the next time I am running through there. I usually forget to take the camera when I'm on the road, but that's about to change.

bobbo · 06-02-2009, 07:55 AM

That place was awesome.

Our trucks look so good there, too! Great pics. I haven't been home long enough to post any yet.

Nate, get your arse to one of these meets!
