Art & Inspiration Looking For Cool Old Garage Names

I just made a couple of signs and trying to come up with old school garage names for a sign. I just used the town I live in and the Flying A. I was going to bring to Hershey, but a fellow HAMBer came by today and liked the Flying A and bought it. Anyway know a cool old Garage name?

 

Old favorite.....

 

I dunno.....digging the FORD part and the building, but hey it has signs !!

 

BUD'S RADIATOR
"a great place to take a leak"

 

Practical Engineers....is just funny. Guess that fits everyone.

 

Used Cars, Storage, Tire, Battery, Vulcanizing, Fender Repair, Repaints, Parking and Auto Laundry.....all in the same building.

 

Wish I could see what name is above that Garage sign hanging off that building.

 

looks like it says Blackburns garage. put your curser just above it, hold the control button and scroll the touchpad.

 

You are correct! Thanks. Not going to do it.

 

That street would make a great diorama for the model car freaks!

 

Yes sir, it's Blackburn's Service Station and Carlot. 822 Seymour Street circa 1928....unreal the service definition then huh? It's on Flickr's City of Vancouver Archives. Nerd central maybe...but it's cool for me. Hope I didn't mess up your thread. I love your posts as you already know. Take care.

 

Fender's Repair

 

Took this crappy pic today. They built some bad engines back then. Lafayette In.

 

Cooter's Garage (Dukes of Hazard), Accident Towing and Repair(Accident Md.),
Crossroads Alignment, Snooker's Speed Shop (Everyone's faster when they've been snookered), Smokey's Tire Shop, Dizzies Tune Up .

 

How about Fender Less Garage

 

That is more like it! Thanks

 

While you're researching names, have a look at typestyles too. All the old signs were hand lettered. The computer-generated fonts and dingbats stand out like modern rims on a Model A.

 

or a fenderless roadster

 

Hutchison's Body Shop - "We take the Dent out of Accident"

 

Yellowstone Garage.

Works if you live in Montana or Wyoming

 

Pist 'n' Broke Garage .

Dean's Winch and Wrench


I will have to see if he has a picture of the old sign.

I brought a neon clock because I liked the name and it fit my garage perfectly. Last Chance Garage

 

I hate that website. Every time I get on there I waste half a night.
