Object number:

2008.015.0020

Curatorial Note:

The recognizable Hertz Rent-a-Car advertisement atop the Texas School Book Depository building continued to display the time and temperature until it was permanently turned off on December 11, 1973, during the United States energy crisis. The sign itself was removed from the building in late 1970s, though the billboard's large metal face plate was saved and is now part of the Museum's permanent collection. - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator
