The sign accompanying the MOLAB, basically unchanged since 2005. It reads

NASA Mobile Laboratory

This mobile laboratory was built for a study of the type of vehicle that could be used to explore the moon's surface. Following completion of the study by NASA, the mobile laboratory was used by the United States Department of the Interior for field geological projects. This research vehicle led to the development of the Apollo Lunar Rover Vehicle (LRV).
