One of the most valuable pieces of collectable stuff. The majority of all perf boats started on 188th in No Miami by Don Aronow, Icluding Cigarette Racing Team, of course. The old sign was nice and bent and beat up. When the street was purchased so they could put up condos the street signs were replaced with nice "suburban" ones :P

Cigarette, Apache, Formula, Magnum, Donzi, Pantera, US Racing, Signature Marine, TNT Marine, Hawk Power among others hung their business signs on 188th St. "Thunderboat Row" at one time or another.
The "new sign" is in my Avatar.

During deconstruction of the area I boated down Fort Apache canal and there was one Fort Apache Parking Only sign hanging by a spider web. My first instinct was to grab it for my shop but was afraid the boating gods might turn on me for grave stealing.
The Fort will always be sacred ground!
