So I want to decorate my walls in my new apartment with vintage car, motorcycle, and oil tin signs. I'm talking about stuff like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/INDIAN-MOTORCYCLES-1934-Series-402-Tin-Sign-Signs-37_W0QQitemZ290130093754QQihZ019QQcategoryZ10962QQ rdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

Does anyone know a good flea market or antique something to get them at? I just went to Englishtown this morning and no luck with their flea market. I figured I'd ask here before ordering from posters.com. The tin signs can be old and beat up or new. Posters would have to be newish, but I think I'll just order them.

My favorite brands: Indian Motorcycles, Triumph Motorcycles, Pontiac, Chevrolet, Peugeot Motorcycles (OLD SCHOOL, obviously), Valvoline Oil, race advertisements (like 1930s Monaco Race advertisements), etc.

Oh I forgot
the website I provided you doesnt have half as many online as they have in the Catalog so you would have to get the free catalog to see alot more of what they have..
The catalog they send you has alot of Gm signs

try going to historic small towns they most of the time have antique stores and you can find stuff in them. they can get pretty expensive tho.

good luck

Thanks for the site, they have some really nice ones, especially the Pontiacs.

Good idea with the historic towns. My dad mentioned that Redbank used to have a market or something. I think I'll look into that as well.

Meadowlands flea market...i think it's every saturday, and often many holidays. usually some old stuff like that if i remember (been a year since i've been)
