    Dunno, that's why I'm asking...;)

    Update: never mind, it is Janet Leigh, so the movie must be Psycho.

    I’ll take the USED CARS sign since I don’t have garage space for another car right now.

    FIFTEEN CENT BURGERS! McDonald's jumped from 50 million to 500 million sold according to the signs in these pictures.

    A 10 fold increase in what time span? In the 2 McDonald's pics the cars are all early to mid fifties. The latest models I can ID are 1958. Creative accounting...? :confused:

    Maybe 50 million is an old sign? Maybe 500 million was a look into the future?

    Didn’t an episode of the Flintstones cartoons show a similar sign with over A dozen bronto burgers sold?

    Bring your own live music if you don't like what is playing on the local radio station.
