What were the size you could get back in the day? I was thinking about having one made with modern LED lighting for my pole building but I want the height and width to be correct.

I've got ideas but no measurements from a real sign. The one you linked to above in my guessimate is about 2 1/2 feet high by 10 feet long. I'm going by the tire width of perhaps 2 foot and using it for a gauge.

That is one beautiful AC sign. It was featured in many AC sales brochures from the 1970s.
Like you, I figured I might have one custom made sometime in the future?? I see originals bringing thousands of dollars.
