Coca Cola 9ft bottle Neon – NS1788
A Beacon On The American Road
This is a full-figure Coca-Cola bottle neon sign, born in the years 1939 to 1952, when America traded paper signs for light and glass, and the open road became a promise.
Description
In 1965, Route 66 was still America’s working road.
Age wasn’t checked the way it is today. If you could drive, handle the equipment, and show up on time, you worked. Employers cared less about paperwork and more about whether you could get the job done.
Driver’s licenses were accepted at face value, especially in small desert towns and along highway commerce routes. Ice cream trucks, service vehicles, and garbage truck route jobs were part of the informal economy that kept the towns along Route 66 moving.
Payment wasn’t always cash. Trades were common. Goods and services were exchanged the same way they had been for decades.
Vehicles weren’t perfect. Many were worn, patched together, and missing parts that would never pass inspection today. You adapted. If something didn’t work — like a reverse gear — you learned to work around it.

That was Route 66. Not polished. Not rewritten. Just real.
