This original Mercedes-Benz illuminated dealership sign was removed from a licensed Mercedes-Benz dealership in Illinois due to a remodel. The sign was in working condition when removed and measures 20’ feet in length by 32 1/2". Mercedes-Benz dealerships removed these signs to update to the newer white letters that dealerships currently have in use. The sign is composed of two 10-foot pieces that adjoin in the center. The sign has been stored indoors and unused for the last 10 years or more in DeKalb, Illinois.

The back of the sign features a mounting flange and holes across the top to aid in installation. Various spots around some of the letters show normal weathering including a blemish on the "B" as pictured in the gallery but reportedly have no effect on functionality.

The sign is composed of two adjoining 10-foot pieces. In total, the sign measures 20' in length and 32.5" tall. The seller is willing to accomodate shipping needs as needed.

The MB Market Insights

Looking for that perfect finishing touch to your man cave or garage? Well look no further! These original dealership signs are very difficult to come by because the dealerships are instructed to destroy them when removed. Yet, this one and very few others have managed to find their way to the open market to be saved and cherished for many years to come. This is the perfect addition for any collector. The sign comes in two separate pieces and can be shipped. From a gernerational standpoint, this is the sign that most of us remember seeing atop the local Mercedes-Benz dealerships as kids. And this is the sign we want to keep around for many generations to come, just like the cars which have become family members themselves through pride and passion.

@ModenaOnMyMind One side of the sign has 3 wires with was easy to wire up and confirm it lit up. The other side has 5 wires and since I am not an electrician I did not wire it up. I cannot post a picture in this chat but I will see if the account manager can post it.

@ModenaOnMyMind .  I will work on trying to light it up.

Is there something stopping you from attaching a 3-wire plug and testing this?

I assume it is fluorescent inside?

I'd love to bid on it, but without knowing if the ballasts work, or if there are functioning tubes inside...a bit tough to make an informed decision.
