Default I finally got the "holy grail" of Honda S600 memorabilia.

As some of you may know, I collect anything S-car related, from original Brochures, to dealer posters, to factory books/manuals, optional parts, etc...

Well, here's a peice I've been after for a while, it's a Service Station Sign that repair shops from the era would place in front of their shops, that would let S-car owners know that their shop is a Honda authorized repair station.




Here's an original "service reminder" postcard, referencing the sign (the signs are also referenced in a lot of the original brochures):


I only know of one other S-car sign, and one T-truck sign in existance. If any other s-car owners would like one, I might try to get this reproduced.

Well, I'm not going to display it as such. Unless you're referring to me trying to reproduce it.

btw, i don't think honda would have a problem with you replicating it. i don't think that it would be a high volume high cost item. and they really could care less about things like this.

Jason, that is awesome.

If you end up replicating it, I'd love one! Too bad I can't get a real one, but it's neat enough that I'd be very happy to put on in my garage.

Have you had any luck with the stuff I sent you or should I go somewhere professional for a better copy? Let me know.

I gave the scans to my friend to mess with, as my photoshop skills aren't quite up to par

I'll let you (and anyone else interested) know if I'm able to get this sign reproduced.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm not great with Photoshop either. I've messed with it a little bit, but not enough to pick a lot up.
