You're right. See the following clip:

According to the article, Cherokee Motors was the name
of the lot from the mid-1960's, when Fords were sold there.
The sign was constructed in the 1950's, though, by
Jake Sweeney, who was selling Pontiacs.

Jake Sweeney!! That's the name I remember associated with the sign. Now the sign will be doubly antique, since Pontiac itself will soon be in the "dust bin of history"
