Great Coca-Cola Sign on Old Le'Ora's building

[Skyline]

Okc Underground concourse?

Not aware of any sections with 12' ceilings. That sign is pretty massive.

^^ Didn't realize.

Bricktown, somewhere along the canal would be good.

One of those abandoned storefronts along the Canal would be great.

hey okctalk people, i need your help... and more importantly, so does this awesome sign.

i never got any offers to host the sign publicly, so i started down the path of restoring it and displaying it in my house. after finally getting settled in the new house, i've had time over the past several weeks to start restoring the sign in my spare time. i completely underestimated the size of the sign in comparison to the room where i was going to place it. the sign is 10' x 24' and the wall i had planned for it is 9' (minus 5" for crown molding) x 16'. for whatever reason, i got it in my head that my ceiling was 10' high and that each sign plank was only 8" wide... so, in actuality, the sign won't fit.

obviously, i could cut the sign down to display on my wall and possibly display what i cut out in another part of my home. however, i really don't feel good about that. i've included a graphic below to show what would be displayable on my wall.

so... i'm reaching out to you guys again. if anybody has connections that would be interested in restoring and displaying this sign publicly, please get with me. or... am i overreacting? is it better to restore this sign in some way rather than risk it being destroyed altogether?

thanks! -M

I'll put a post out on Twitter and Facebook and see if we can find someone in town that could use it and take good care of it.

MMM, sorry I've been absent from this conversation. Let's get it on display in the Hart Building along Film Row. I think Chip Fudge will go for it.... he's going to have a historic city display I think will be accessible to the public....

thanks, guys... lemme know. i have the sign stored at my old house, partially assembed in the garage if you want to see it. however, i think i've got the place place rented. it's likely i'll need to get the sign moved out by october 1 and i'd prefer to move it around as little as possible because the paint on the unrestored sections is pretty fragile.

Not sure about number of eyes viewing it, but if the ballpark has coca cola products and not pepsi - I am sure there is space inside there.
