This is absolutely the finest TUCKER® neon Dealership sign you will EVER see. This sign build initiated from the ORIGINAL Dealership artwork pamphlet designed during the "TUCKER® Conceptual era/period". I have included images of the proposed "artwork" of which was the "introduced effort" to bring the TUCKER® automobile Dealerships to life.

Preston Thomas Tucker (September 21, 1903 – December 26, 1956) was an American entrepreneur.

He is most remembered for his Tucker® 48 sedan, initially nicknamed the "Tucker® Torpedo", an automobile which introduced many features that have since become widely used in modern cars. Production of the Tucker® '48 was shut down amidst scandal and controversial accusations of stock fraud on March 3, 1949. The 1988 movie Tucker®, The Man & His Dream is based on Tucker's spirit and the saga surrounding the car's production.Do some research on this interesting man and his automobile dreams. If you are looking at this listing you may already know far more than we do about Mr. Tucker. There are not a lot of Tucker® Automobiles out there and we have ONLY built a "scant" few of our Tucker® Neon Custom art of which were fabricated by our experienced and talented team. Electolite® has been involved in Neon restorations and full builds from concept to reality. We have been most fortunate to have built some very fine pieces for some even more refined collectors. We have been given opportunities to fabricate and build a vast variety of custom pieces for collectors of some of the finest automobiles on the planet. We take pride in each and every build and take no shortcuts. Electolite® has recently built this 2-sided TUCKER® SERVICE sign, a 2-sided vertical BLADE sign, a 2-sided horizontal armature sign and a TUCKER® custom neon clock. If you have a vision of a custom build we can achieve your concept to reality for virtually ANY subject matter you may envision.

This sign was custom built for a group of collectors and only TWO were made.

NOTICE!

This information should be very helpfulfor those buyers who don't want to get ripped off! There are a group of a dozenor so sellers selling signs they call porcelain, used, preowned and vintage. Ifyou look at their sales history under ITEMS SOLD, you will find that they havesold and are STILL selling the SAME EXACT porcelain, used, preowned and vintagesigns over and over and over again. DOZENS of the same signs. Common sensereality check people. There is NO WAY someone has a never-ending supply of thesame exact porcelain, used, preowned and vintage signs unless they are makingthem. These are fantasy fake reproductions listed as porcelain, used, preownedand vintage and are NOT even porcelain. The vast majority of buyers do not knowthe difference at all and this is what these deceptive sellers are counting on.If you are selling signs you make you should list them as such. Most of oursigns are NEW and our listings are transparent. Think twice before you buythese fake signs. It's OK to buy a sign made to look old but the buyer shouldbe told about this rather than intentionally deceiving people. If you call thesesellers out on this they just block you and continue flying under the radarselling fake signs that are NOT porcelain, used, preowned OR vintage.

There are a small handful of newer members, (we will not list these seller’s names), that are now selling signsthey describe as “pre-owned”, that are actually very recently made. These signsare intentionally made to look old or vintage & described as preowned. Thevast majority of these newbie sellers are mass producing their “preowned” signsof just about everything vintage they can find on the internet. If you take thetime to review & research these sellers, what they sell and how manyhundreds and thousands of the same exact same signs they have sold over &over the prospective buyer can obviously see that it would be virtuallyimpossible to have 100 or 200 of the same exact “preowned” signs unless theywere making these signs themselves. Of course, these sellers are purposely nottransparent with their descriptions. They are intentionally vague as most buyersdo not take the time to do the research. Instead, many buyers click & buybelieving that the signs are, in some way vintage because after all, they arelisted as “preowned”. In addition, they describe them as porcelain & 99.9%are NOT porcelain. The vast majority are a digitallyenhanced graphics on steel or tin & then beat up using a multitude ofvarious methods to accelerate an aged appearance. Everything from soaking inacid solutions & various concoctions of special chemicals all mixed, used& designed to produce & sell preowned signs with a vintage appearance.All of this performed in the art of deception. Inspecting the back of the signsthey are all virtually identical. Either black or white with bubbles &scratches here and there in various different spots. Ultimately, it is veryeasy to spot these types/kinds of signs. There are dozens of sellers practicingthe same identical questionable business practices mass producing fakeporcelain fantasy signs. For the most part many of these signs are of decentquality & reasonably priced. However, several of these sellers haveliterally pirated Electolite® original images & artwork designed byElectolite® years & literally decades ago. Many of these images camedirectly from the 1926 Ashton Collins advertising binder, (of which we stillhave the original binder valued at $50,000.00). We have been on since dayone in September of 1995. Over 25 years. Electolite® has been & still is,the most prolific seller of all things Reddy Kilowatt.

We areabsolutely one of the few known expert sources for all things ReddyKilowatt.
