United Delco illuminated sign 1950s. Before Delco Remmy. 24" x 72". Reads "Simply Say Delco; United Delco." Owner never installed. It was placed in storage trailer and forgotten about, in Willoughby, Ohio. That's about all that's known, can't find any other signs quite like it.
Love it -- Wasn't United Delco ?? AC Delco ?? Just wondering, as I have a AC Delco Clock
