Here is a few original VW dealer Pictures I got. Behind each picture was 4 - 5 more in each frame. Every year the VW dealer added a new poster without removing the old one.  |

What's the story behind the red KdF sign? Pre-war or made later? |

I bought this one from Bob Koch who brought this one back from Bad Camberg years ago. Very heavy porcelain. He said he unbolted it from Uzo’s old building. Very well made but I’m sure it is made at a later date not pre war.
My favorite one posted so far is Uzi’s last one the red, white & blue Tele Fun Ken Radio That one is the shit….. |

Pre-war or not, it's still very cool. Find something better than that brownshirt sign to put next to it, though!  |

nice signs fellers, thanks for the contributions. all those "VW" plates ed has collected are nuts.
my old squareback has a wyoming plate that just had the numbers "412" on it. sorta funny near coincidence.

You can keep the buses ! I’m digging on that brick or stone house in the background. As I type right now I’m looking out my office window and all I see is house after house after house. I look pass your 2 killer busses and all I see is green. I would give it all up for no neighbors. I spent 9 years turning my back yard into a Hawaii type setting and all I hear is a stupid basketball and kids arguing all day

the Dunlop one is metal and says the same thing on both sides, this was hung up along the ceiling.
both are for sale too

wow that is badass!
Color is awesome, reminds me of early signal gas signs.
Kai, do you have any extra vw signs for sale?
