These signs, like the old Kentile Floors sign, are quite popular with historians and sign aficionados. Everyone remembers a sign from their childhood or from a place they loved. Maybe it was a spot that marked how far you were from a place ("once you see the XYZ sign, you know you're almost there"), or it belonged to a business you frequented. I have many memories like this, as I'm a visual person and often associate a place or memory with a structure like this. I take pictures of the signs I love when I can - anything to avoid another flickertail.
If you happen to be a fan of the Bruno Truck Sales sign, you can now wear it - it's been memorialized on a t-shirt.
