Date this Billboard!

Driving through Poughkeepsie, NY this weekend, I spied this amazing billboard lurking at the back of a parking lot off Route 9. I think it was quite recently uncovered and, from a quick look at the wood frame, looks like an actual old ad. What year is it from?

Specifically, the sign in question can be seen in the photo for Sign No. P 84B on this list [PDF] from the website linked by Mudpuppie above. Armed with that very specific info, you might be able to find someone at the company who knows the history of that sign.

I have seen this ad several times around the Hudson valley. I believe it is painted on the billboard to provide a default when the billboard is not being rented.
