Memories of The Old Chicago Skyline / The Giant Chevy Sign

This film is from the days when giant illuminated signs dominated the night sky. It tells the story of a giant sign for Chevrolet motors that used to dominate the lake front skyline in downtown Chicago Illinois. No mere simple advertising billboard this gargantuan sign is a complicated electrical device that requires it's own crew to maintain and electrical engineer to over see. Interesting pubic domain movie from the Internet archive http://www.archive.org/index.php

Wasn't that a "Pabst Blue Ribbon" sign in it's last years? I remember that one being torn down when the Prudential Building was built.
