Looks like a 57 Pontiac?

"Road teast" instead of Road test.

Guessing made in India.

The "reproduction" metal/porcelain signs are flooding the market. Some disclosed; some not. Blatant fakes, aged with bullet holes and rust.

Doubt the originals actually said "Made in USA". Back then, where else would it have been made?

If you look at his sold sales, he has sold a ton of fake signs for crazy money(for fakes).

here is some feedback from seller of the oOLD USED signs

I sent an email and did not get a response so I am forced to leave a review. The description of the sign says “original old sign from my collection”. These signs are not old or from any collection. They are nice but they are 100% modern reproductions. Do not buy if you expect an antique. The description of the signs are deceptive. It seems it is a fine line they walk to try and maximize profit at unsuspecting customers expense
