⇧ "Refrigerated Air" not "Air-Conditioning -" hmm, that's got to be pretty early in the air-conditioning era. Not that this answer the age of the sign question, but it does put a floor under it - does anyone know the year of that car?

It looks like a customized '49-'51 Ford.

I think it's a bit after the actual year of the car. That style of customizing (lowering, lakes pipes, tubular grille, etc.) was hot in the 1954-55 time frame.

Most likely so; it kinda looks like an early George Barris or Gene Winfield offering. There's another car of the same era in the background.
I was actually referring to the year of the car, not necessarily the time frame of the photo.

Methinks if we could peek inside this place, there might be some overlap with our Tiki thread - especially if it had a "lounge."

Not sure if I posted that Town Motel sign here before, I know I did on my instagram page, but that one's not too far down the road from me.

I remember this Jess Wood Plumbing sign from when I was a kid. There was some "animation" as the fish was pulled out of the tub. Eventually the sign lost it's neon and fishing motif. Then it was gone entirely...
