Is that an Ed Roth Garage in the background

    Take a look, this is the P & B Colonial Diner in Glassboro, New Jersey dates back at least to the 1950s, perhaps even to the 1940s.

    But what is interesting is the Ed Roth sign in the background.

    I grabbed this off of atomicantiques.com and he thinks that this may be a Packard dealer.

    Does any old time Jersey guy know anything?

    Looks like the pic is circa '64...

    "Big Daddy", IIRC, was a Cali. native son, so not likely "that" Ed Roth...

    Mid-'60's, the ol' Rat Fink had his studio/shop in Venice (?) CA.

  14. I think there is a little bit more lettering on that sign;looks like an auto repair shop.
     
  15. That was a MG - Austin dealer - Ed Roth & Son Inc on Delsea Dr in Glassboro. Looks like a Saab, Triumph TR3, Volvo 544, and possibly a BMW Isetta in the lot.

    I don't think we're seeing the rest of what that sign says.
