The Pontiac sign on the corner of Pershing and Main.
Re: KC Advertising and Signs
I wish everyone could have seen that gigantic Pontiac sign at night. It had a gazillion lights that would perform an impressive show in waves and flickers. People referred to its location as Signboard Hill. Thank you for posting a wonderful memory.
