So i was coming home from the city today via queens midtown tunnel to the 495.. as im going through the tool booth, i see a very very nostalgic sign which if i knew about, would of attempted to take a pic, its of the trump shuttle with a nice 727, and the slogan ours make more hours!!.. just a heads up to anyone who comes up that way and wants to try to take a pic!!

Where is the sign exactly?

[cancidas]

which side of the expressway was it on? i live right near there and bike though it constantly. i'll see if i can find it...

[h2opunk1822]

its going east bound right after you get out of the tunnel, kind of on the first turn on the right hand side

Yes I saw it too, just out of the tunnel, eastbound on the Right side. But that was months ago and then it was covered more recently, and then yesterday again I saw it exposed.

So what I think is that the actual sign is the Trump 727 but any new signs are put on top of it. And once in a while, in the middle of replacements, we see the Trump 727 again.

If its a 727 then its probably a Braniff ad.

[mirrodie]

Nope. Its definitely an old Trump Ad.

Just looked to see if it was currently on googlemaps. No dice.

Its on one of these signs, probably as a baseboard.

There's a billboard in Baltimore, just north of the Fort McHenry tunnel, that has an America West A320 in the light blue (the pre-Jurassic Park) scheme as the base. Don't know how often it comes out, since I'm a Harbor Tunnel guy, but I used to see it all the time.
