Check out the used car lot and marquee for City Auto Sales Chevrolet. This dealership features the OK used cars logo. The OK used cars brand first began by Chevrolet in the mid-1920s and referenced a red O.K. tag system checklist. In a way, this was the predessor to the certified used car system of today.
This Chicago dealership features a neon lit sign and was in great condition when this photo was taken.

is working neon.

To the right is a nice vintage sign displayed in front of Steele's
Garage. It's always nice to see old marquees in great shape. Not sure
if the neon works, though.

Check out the marquee for Wolf Chevrolet. True
to form, the sign shows a wolf howling. Hopefully, the cars sold here
won't make anyone howl. Then again, the wolf sort of looks like Nipper,
the RCA mascot. What a nice wolf!
