Just to settle a little bet with another Mopar guy,does anyone have an original letter used on the front of Dodge dealerships to spell out the dealer's name or know the size of each individual letter?Thanks !!

not exact, but you can get in the ballpark by extrapolating from known sizes of objects in that photo, bearing in mind you need to stay in the same vertical plane to avoid perspective distortions. For example door is probably a standard 80" tall, compare to height of sign letter directly above door.

Tom and Gary Hergert have several sets, I saw a set they got from a Plymouth dealership at the Minnesota show this year, if you don't have their contact number text me and I will give it to you, Rocket Restorations in Olympia, Washington is the business. wave

Yes I have a bunch. They are a bunch of different widths (which make them a super pain to transport!) but the height is the same. Let me go measure one.

...they are 36 inches flange to flange tall.

Still trying to find the Grand Spaulding Dodge letters, someone in Chi-town has to have them somewhere!

Nice thing about those letters are they are completely modular. Each letter is individual so if you find enough you could still spell out Grand Spaulding. Have a bunch of Plymouth letters, not as many Dodge. Trying to spell out Rocket Restorations smile
