Built in 1943, the metal sign takes the form of a saluting gasoline service station attendant outfitted in uniform complete with cap and tie. The figure stands atop large letters that spell "Chevron." The structure is intact but some of the neon tubing is missing, the paint is peeling, and the sign is no longer operable.
