Tim McDonnell, president of the newly revived Kingman Route 66 Association of Kingman, Ariz., sent an image of this vintage photo of Duke’s Packard dealership that once operated in town.
The association’s plan is to repair the neon on the sign, put it back on the original building, and paint murals on the walls and windows of the structure, which is at Route 66 and Third Street.
The association wants to preserve or restore other neon signs in town. But this one is the first on its list.
Donations for the cause are welcome, and tax-deductible. For more information, contact McDonnell at kingmanroute66association(at)gmail(dot)com .
