Plymouth sign tower

Bristow, Oklahoma

The sign stands a few feet from the Art Moderne building that was built for the Beard Motor Company which later became Bristow Chrysler Plymouth. The dealership also sold GMC trucks at some point. The business was owned by founding partners Hubert "Red" Beard and Wat Henry. Beard was apparently the public face of the company with Henry being more of a silent partner. The building was constructed in 1945 and early 1946 and the sign was built in 1948 or 1949.
