I wanted to start a thread that I'll update as I acquire pieces for the museum. I'm always open to feedback. I want to track down a nice imperial neon, an additional desoto sign and then open from there. I'm getting a lot of medium and small pieces as well. The museum is 12k sq/ft in total with around 1200 sq/ft of office space. The office space will have the smalls to display. Oddball items from promotional items, signs and records. I'll keep the firemites and pedal cars in here as well. Anything that's from the 50's and has mopar/chrysler/dodge/plymouth/imperial on it, I have interest in. I'm only looking for original pieces, not remanufactured. For the right price of course :).

Here are some of the dealership style signs I have:

The building being demo'd and cleaned up. Goal is to hang big neons off the support pieces on the side, then have large items on the walls.

Awesome stuff, Mike. I have been angling more towards the
1900-1930 vintage stuff, but it is ALL super cool. Came across
a wad of NOS Red Crown, Zeroline, and Pearl Oil stuff today.
Still had cosmoline between the signs ! Cars are cool, but a
shop well hung with "the right stuff" makes everything that
much more special. I just love puttering around in my shop
amongst the cars and stuff.

Thanks for sharing. Great stuff.

I am really liking the older signs and stuff with the Streamlined Moderne Art Deco motifs. Very nice. Keep up the good work.

Got these amazing 1956 Chrysler dealer posters. Never mounted, still have the tube with postage on them from 1956!
