Description
Iconic Monterey Motel sign; vintage before modernization destroyed it. When driving through Chouteau, OK in 2015, this beautiful vintage neon motel sign immediately caught my eye.
The light, starburst, teardrop, no vacancy arrow all showing age with rust and broken neon. Signs like this from yesteryear are slowing disappearing. It's ashame as nothing today compares to the character of vintage signs.
Sadly this sign is now been modernized. In 2016, the new owner was going to restore this glorious sign, but alas it was too expensive. The owner tore out all the neon and removed the No Vacancy arrow, then painted the starburst, teardrop and posts. Needless to say, the new sign doesn't hold a candle to this vintage sign.
