Default Gibb store current photo

Happened to be on my way to a meeting in SW Illinois last week and decided to take a quick detour off Highway 67 to see the Gibb dealership and snapped this picture.

Thanks for sharing!.
A little older than our era but here's the closest shot I could come up w/ to compare..
Anyone know what ever happened to the Gibb sign?.

More of the same but here are some others I took but did not have time to post earlier.

Amazing that it looks so similar some +/-45 years later.

Ironic thing for me is that I went to school in the late 80's just down the road in Macomb and drove up and down Route 67 (just 15 miles from this place) for 4 years - and even knew the historical significance at that time - but never once stopped until now.
