What About Billboards?

   Made my own 1960's STANDARD model ....................

                               I cant find one. "Well Son, you'll just have to make it"

Here's a couple for those of you who root for Navy. These go nicely next to the Rocket Launcher and Control Tower:

Crazy Crystals sign is the left portion of a reefer's cardstock side.

Aren't homemade billboards a great opportunity to be creative?

If you're gonna have a baseball field or other sports field, don't forget the billboards to get more advertising dollars for the home team:

BTW, that peppermint billboard was cut out from a box of Peppermint Bigelow Tea, which I inserted into a billboard frame. Bigelow Tea advertises with the Yankees.

Very cool billboards!

Now here's the biggest money maker for the home team shown below.

Did you know that Ty Cobb, the worst SOB who ever played the game and who happens to have the all-time highest lifetime batting average, made a fortune investing in a start up company from Atlanta, Georgia that no one heard of at the time, by the name of Coca Cola.

I love these IKE billboards for a number of reasons. Besides being a great general, President and great man, seeing these billboards made me think of a Twilight Zone episode: we are really going back in time to the 1950s. Can you hear that spooky Twilight Zone  music at the beginning of the show when you also see that eyeball floating in space? Yes folks, we are going back in time to the steam and diesel transition period, and entering  The Twilight Zone! LOL

What are Hallicrafters? Some product from the 1950s?
