Old Fords and Neons...Sweet!

Old Fords and Neons...Sweet! 

Until I watched this video it never occurred to me that neon signs have essentially disappeared.   I do remember many cars from those years that no longer are built:  Packard, Studebaker,  Hudson , Nash, DeSoto,  Plymouth , Oldsmobile,  Pontiac , Kaiser, Frazer and Edsel.
This list is far from complete, but it does give an idea of how many things have changed since the 1930s and 1940s.   What happened to drive-in movies?

THIS IS REALLY COOL!    The Michael Dingman Collection NEONS AND OLD FORDS           
This was really interesting for me and a bit sad too when you consider people like this gentleman are regrettably becoming a thing of the past.  Dingman must have had a lot of loose change to get his collection together. He put his Ford and Neon Sign Collection up for auction in June 2013. What you have in this video is him recounting the manner in which his collection occurred and pictures of all.
