Welcome to Street Dreams Texas as celebrate our 25th year in the classic and muscle car business. We are offering this 60" double sided porcelain Red Lion (Leaping Version) gas station sign in a ring on a 16 ft metal pole dated 1960. This sign is in very good condition.

We have had it on display in front of our 2nd showroom for 6 years. We just got us a lovely 9 Gulf sign to go in its place. Which looks great in front of our Gulf station. So we are retiring the Lion and are going to share it with you guys. In 1922 the Lion Oil Company was founded in El Dorado, Arkansas, by a Texan by the name of Thomas Henry Barton.
