Cory Gehling contracted with the original manufacturer to make a new batch 
of these signs, in the early 1990s.   Quite a few were sold, and they are 
almost indistinguishable from the originals, except for the fact that they 
tend to be in excellent condition today, whereas the originals can appear to be 
a bit battered.

Chuck knows quite a bit about these--Chuck, can you tell us more, and 
edjumicate us as to how to tell the difference?

Mike (proud owner of an original, slightly battered dealer sign...)
