I've seen it, it's cool. If I had any idea what to do with it, I'd go grab it for myself.

Thats not the original Cig sign from building one. Just look at historicraceboats.com. and you will see a pic of DA standing under the original. "World Champion" and "Racing Team" were in script on the original sign just like the original logo. That sign came years later after Cig had changed hands a few times. Same goes for all logos you see. Thats one way to tell a DA Cig from later years.

CIG 38:
You are right. That is an original.
That sign on e-bay is from the 80's and was placed in front of building 4, the original Squadron building which became building 1 yrs after DA sold the 2nd time. That sign did not exist in the yrs DA owned CIG.
Good luck bidding whoever is bidding on it, but remember it from the mid 80's not the 70s.

This sign would be a great talk piece if you mounted a petalstool under it and put coats of clear and made it a nice table for a bar.I think the sign is from early 80s and that still old.

Comanche3Six 08-15-2006 05:18 PM

Re: A Big Find!!!
 
I would like to sell it to everone but now that there is a bid, and 16 watchers I cant take it off. Its a really cool piece for someone either as a big sign or it would make a great bar pic or even a cool table. Its only a few more days. I have got too many emails from people wanting me to sell it now and pull it off.
