For the past couple of decades, a staple in the Chattanooga, Tennessee area has been a retro-themed car dealership on Rossville Boulevard. Known as Big Hearted Smitty's, the used car lot was quite successful, and had a huge neon sign out front. Steve Smith started the business many years ago, and had the sign built in 1997, by Victory Sign Industries in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. Last year, Steve decided to move his dealership elsewhere, leaving behind the cool sign.
After a few phone calls, a deal was struck, and Corky brought the big sign home, to be hung in our 100-year old facility. This week, Steve and his son Derek stopped by to see how the sign looks in its new home. It's definitely a cool piece and we're glad to have another piece of Chattanooga hanging in our place!
