Interesting project. Since there was only one AMC dealer in Las Vegas and I know exactly where it was (the building is still there), I'll have to get a shot of it. It was Jim Marsh AMC/Jeep and I know Jim. He owns a Chrysler/Jeep dealer in Vegas. I'll have to ask him if he still has any photos of the old dealership.

I'd like to find a sticker or license plate frame from Sparks AMC in Potosi. Or even a keychain. I wonder if any of those exist?

I was at a swap meet last weekend and there was a plastic AMC vertical sign face in the back of a pickup truck. It was about 10 or 12 feet long and about 15 inches or so wide; with a thickness of about a quarter of an inch. They wanted $100 for it and the surface was not in great shape. If it were in better shape, it would have come home with me.

I just picked up one of the vertical signs a few months ago. It is broken (about 1' missing of the end) but for $5 it was still a good deal. I'll be hanging in my shop once I get my concrete floor, in a week or two...
I can take some pix of former local dealers. I know where there are about 5 or 10 that still exist. Well, the original buildings do (in their original form) but they are used for other purposes now. I was thinking I would do that a few years back mut I never got around to taking the pix..

My home town dealer pulled down the signs from the building and hauled them to his junkyard... where I picked them up and took them home, 20 years ago!
 I stashed them away and almost forgot that I had them until last summer. Looks good up on the wall!

That vertical sign would be a score. It's likely someone just slapped some paint over the American Motors lettering and logo. With some care, the paint could likely be stripped off to reveal the original sign.
