Von Hot Rod Surf Shop Metal Sign - 16" x 16"

This hot rod metal sign reproduces artwork with a strong retro shop-sign look: bold cream lettering over a dark, worn background, with a traditional hot rod illustration taking center stage. The car is drawn in crisp line art, showing exposed engine detail, tall front grille, wide wheels, and a surfboard strapped across the roof. The visible typography reads like vintage automotive advertising, including the phrases "Trade Mark" and "Traditional Hot Rods since 1963," giving the piece a period garage-culture feel.

The artwork blends hot rod art with surf culture cues, using high-contrast black and cream tones with distressed texture throughout. The irregular outline follows the graphic shape, so the silhouette becomes part of the design rather than a simple rectangle. It has the mood of hand-painted sign art with a traditional rod influence, making it a natural fit for a garage, workshop, showroom, office, game room, or man cave without pulling attention away from the main artwork.
