Description
Vintage United Tires Roadside Sign:
From the 1920s through the 1950s, United Tires signs were a beacon for American motorists—strategically placed at gas stations and service garages across the nation. These signs weren’t just advertising—they were landmarks. Crafted from porcelain enamel over steel and illuminated with brilliant neon, they were built to stand the test of time—and the elements.
This featured United Tires sign is a masterclass in mid-century industrial design, with bold serif typography and vivid neon flourishes that captured attention in the golden age of the American automobile.
