Wallet Card in Nashville: Coca-Cola sign

In the same outdoor mall as the Yorke Men's Shop sign, I saw this Coca-Cola sign. Again, I had my doubts that it was authentically vintage but snapped a wallet card photo just in case.

A 2009 blog post on the Fading Ad blog (by Frank Jump, one of the premier chroniclers of ghost signs) shows a sign that looks noticeably older and dirtier than the one here. Was this an old sign that was cleaned up, or just a new one to replace the old one? Who knows. Seeing the cool Planters Peanuts sign on the back of the building, I wish I'd walked in that direction.
