Art & Inspiration Old Signs

J.J. - Thanks for the kind words! Always enjoy the photos you post also.

Here's a great old 7up sign on top of the old Coca Cola bottling plant in Bakersfield, California.

 

Wow, that's an amazing art deco Coke sign.

 

Here's an old one fading into the trees along Highway 99 here in Oregon. The Hilltop Motel.

 

Here's one from my hometown that I remember from childhood ... of course it's gone now (although the motel building is still present).

The neon lights that made up Robin Hood's bow and arrow were arranged so as to appear that he was shooting an arrow at the motel. It was spectacular at night. I wish I had a better photo.

 

Great pics!, I see I'm gonna have to pull out the old camera.

 

Nice old sign directing traffic from old Highway 99 in Fowler, California to the heart of the town.

 

The Rancho Grande Motel along Highway 99 in Lodi, California.

 

Well-kept neon outside of the Rice Bowl in Merced, California.

 

Here are a couple from the family (auto) photo album. Janszen Motor Co. Cincinnati, OH circa 1930

 

couple pics from town, and one in Duluth, MN I'm still trying to find the old Lou's Fish sign pic....and yes it is a fish smokehouse and motel in one.

 

Nice googie style coffee shop sign next door to the diving girl along Highway 99 in Fresno, California.

 

Vintage Buick neon sign in Madera, California.
