ABSTRACT:
A vehicle mounted advertising system attachable to a vehicle having non-planar sidewalls that pivot with respect to the vehicle's chassis such as a dump truck. The advertising system comprises a rigid frame member, a first surface member for displaying advertising indica, a sign surface member, and a border member. The rigid frame member defines an interior area closed over by the frame member and includes a mechanical connection for attaching the frame member against the non-planar, vehicle sidewall. The first surface member is attached to the frame member in a manner such that the interior area is substantially covered and bridged over by the first surface member. The border member is in mechanical connection with the frame member in a manner such that the perimeter of the sign surface member is covered by the border member. Attention-getting, dynamic elements, including a motor driven, moving display member and a cigarette simulation using the truck's exhaust for "cigarette smoke" (or other smoking effect), are also disclosed, with the motor preferably located in one of the cavities created between the sign frame member and the open area in the dump truck's side wall existing between the longitudinally spaced, vertically extending, sidewall structural strengthening members. Additionally, the sign, which preferably extends substantially above and below the truck sidewall, is moveable up and down with respect to the dump truck bed to achieve a desirable clearance when needed.
