Tower
Project

In May 1946, flamboyant Bristow businessman Grover Hubert (Red) Beard opened a one-of-a kind 24 hour 'Automobile Service Institution' eponymously named Beard Motor Company.
The business proudly featured genuine MOPAR parts, while selling Chryslers, Plymouths, and GMC trucks, and servicing all makes of vehicles. Located at 210 East 9th, just a block away from historic Route 66, this unusual building is on the National Historic Registry & is best known for the amazing advertising sign that Red Beard built.
The Chrysler Plymouth Sign was erected by Beard in 1949 & garnered both state and regional recognition. The Chrysler Plymouth sign was lit for less than 10 years and has stood dark since the late 1950's, after the business changed hands.
The Bristow Historical Society has received a grant to move & re-light this historic sign on Route 66.
The project is underway & we will be posting updates here!
