Thought You Would Like Looking at this Tool

Killing time on eBay and came across this. Thought you might enjoy looking at it. Price is ridiculous, I think, but very cool. Anyone ever see one like it before?

Yes, I have that tool but not the sign. My tool has a broken bracket, so I have never used it. But it is a neat tool

Very cool! Wonder if you could fix the broken bracket? I bet you could make a replica sign.

I have a newer version. Mine came out of a Chevy dealership. It is the ideal tool to align the rear wheels of an older Corvette, and works great to align the front wheels and be sure the steering wheel is centered.

Templet or template? Actually neither seems to make sense. These were quite common and not very long ago either. Never saw that brand name though. Believe Snap-On made one too.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

I would trade mine for a used couplet or towncar. Les

Awesome! Wonder if there are instructions on it's use? I've done a few alignments on my other cars and find this tool interesting.
