There are several '50s and '60s sets that had garage sign. It came as part of
a parts pack from that period, or part of a garage kit - the flip door variety
that opened when you press down on the plate in front. Check these out:

These plates were made during the '50s and the '60s. They were used in many
sets from that era. They came in a parts pack back then. In Europe it was
parts pack #227, which had 5 large white plates - (2) 4x8 left curve, (2) 4x8
right curve, and (1) 2x8 regular plate. In the USA/Canada the Samsonite parts
pack from the early '60s was called #227/R and #227/L, with 10 plates in each
pack (9 in Canada).
One set that had these curved plates was the Esso Service Station set 309,
which had these curved bricks used along with the curved quarter circle
"macaroni" bricks. Another set (307) had the curves used as part of a VW
dealership. Here are the LUGNET search on these sets:

Back in the '60s when they first produced LEGO wheels (starting in 1962), these
little milky clear pieces were used to hold train cars, or cars & trailers
together. They usually came in any set that had those wheels with gray tires.
These pieces had such a narrow "thread" holding the two 2x2 plate type pieces
together, that they frequently broke, or got bent. I couldn't find a picture
of these anywhere.
