Vintage neon signs

[Frunobulax]

The car's two-tone color is fantastic (in, IMHO, an ugly-pretty way). Also, did mom and dad choose the lower color to match their daughter's hair? I know parents who've done similar (to the outsider) kookie things.

You could see Don Draper from the early "Mad Men" episodes pulling into this place on a road trip. If "Betts" wasn't with him, Mrs. Short Pants would have been a Don target - the man absolutely had scruples, but none when it came to extra curricular marriage activity.

Stumbled across this one on the web today:

"Jazz and Fondue -" "Fondue," really!?

Also, love the name and image - "Hip Kitty."

And in the daytime - cat image is outstanding:

Another internet find - how much do you want to see this bad boy lit up at night (and get some ice-cream from his store)?

Yeah, I wanna go to the Hip Kitty for some jazz.

Unfortunately...

Love this. Super cool and super creepy at the same time. [emoji16]

We sell cars that are really rocket ships:

I like the contrail a lot.

I’ve always liked this sign. I wish they still used it.

I so wanted to find a youtube of this one with the pancakes flipping away (they are pancakes, right?), but no luck.

This time-lapse GIF seems to show that it isn't animated. At least anymore.

Thank you for hunting this out. I'm surprised and disappointed that there's no animation. I think it would be quite impressive, especially with the pancake changing shape as it flips. That said, as you note, maybe it was once animated (and, thus, could be again).

Back-lit plastic, but nostalgic. [emoji4]

Many of those still around in the late '60s/'70s when I was growing up. Still think it's a better design than the new one.
