Old school Chevy service center? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a small commercial shop that I use mainly for hobby stuff. Most of that would be hoarding square body trucks and parts. I want to put up a sign outside, and make the whole thing look kinda like an old Chevy service center. I may start selling some of my parts as well.

Does anybody have any pics or anything of what a real Chevy dealership service area looked like in the early 70s? What type of signs they had hanging, color schemes, stuff like that?

Here's the sign I think I'm going to put out front. I found some reproductions on ebay that looked like this and made my own in photoshop. What decade did they use signs like this?
