Luke's Garage & Gas Station

Barney I think it was Mark Twain who said something like:
'Spelling a word the same way over and over shows a lack of imagination.'

Some say Clemons, some say Climes, It's all Coranges and Cabanas.

Here's the source of my inspiration for the sign.  I ran across this image while surfing around on the internet.  I liked it and thought it would be a good addition to my garage and gas station project.  I boosted the price on the battery to what was appropriate for 1938.

You also should model the man. He looks like the ideal proprietor. -- Russ

Must have known a local printer - or got this bloke to do it - is there something illegal  about doing this "new plates while you wait "
So all is forgiven with your sign!

Lovely build just keep it coming

He seems a little too sober for my purposes.  I'm kinda thinking Luke would he a happy friendly sort who would be anxious and ready to greet both the local farmer and the city resident driving out for a breath of fresh country air.  (Have you ever been in the orange groves when the blossoms are at their peak? The fragrence is worth the drive to enjoy.)  You know, the kind of guy who would spend a few minutes just chatting about the weather or the latest news event.
