Too Shabby to be Chic??

Ok, so I have good eyes.  Not braggin'...just sayin'.  I can spot a bargain or a curbside find a mile away!!  So, the last time I was in WV with my parents, I spotted this sign mixed with some other trash on the embankment of a river.  I hopped out of the van and picked up this {beauty?}.

I think my dad had a moment of wonder, as to whether I had completely lost my mind or not, but he smiled as I put it in the van.
I know it is a bit rustic or well just down right rusty, but I like it! I am HUGE Diet Pepsi fan and inexpensive Pepsi memorabilia is hard to come by!

Anyway, I took some mild cleaner and a scrub brush and was able to get the loose rust off to reveal some of the color underneath and touched it up a teeny bit with paint.

I know it's still pretty shabby but that's why I'm callin' out to you.

I hung it in my hallway with some other shabby aged goodies and wanted your take on it.

Is it too shabby to be chic?

What do you think?
