Champion Spark Plugs is one of the most famous American automotive brands and was originally founded by Albert Champion – a French cyclist and engineer in the early 20th century. Emigrated from Paris to the United States in the 19th century.

However, the exact date of manufacture is unknown. Unlike many modern decorative reproductions made from thin aluminum or lightweight printed sheet metal, this sign impresses with. Real porcelain enamel surface. These features give the sign a much more authentic vintage garage look and make it an attractive decorative and collectible item for. Car dealerships and showrooms. ? ## Technical data. Brand: Champion Spark Plugs. Type: Porcelain Enamel Advertising Sign. Material: steel with porcelain enamel coating. Dimensions: 45 × 69 cm.
