You can use the following code to display the drop-down menu. Please make sure this is found with the form tags (<form> .. </form>) within the template.
<<div style="padding-top:3px;">
<label style="width:120px;text-align:right;float:left;padding:0 1em;">Brand :</label>
<select style="width:75px" name="signup[brand]" id=brand>
{html_options options=$brands selected=$vars.brand}
</select>
</div>
