New Mexico US 66 Albuquerque highway road freeway guide sign hotsell green 1961

To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order before November 10!

Up for sale today is freeway guide sign for US 66 and Albuquerque, New Mexico. the sign is made to the exact federal 1961 standard that was the most generally prevalent along interstate highways during their early days.

An original of these is not only very rare to find scrapped, but is a herculean effort to transport; they are long since retired from active use. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing a hernia.

The sign is flat printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. The old signs in use in the field are much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a much more manageable size. There are several sizes available: 27 x 12 inches, 40 x 18 inches, or 81 x 36 inches (nearly seven feet by three feet) size. It is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors.

The largest sign (81 x 36) is made on two panels, and will be shipped as two 40 1/2 by 36 inch halves, with mounting holes along the top and bottom edges to accommodate two rails for stability. This assembly and mounting process will be left up to the buyer. (if you would like an even bigger sign made of even more panels, let's talk!)

This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close!

I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but others with the reflectors, the embossed style that other states used, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality hotsell right here in the good old US of A.
