The Sahara Motel was built in 1959. The sign was built by Santa Ana Neon. It has been repainted over the years but the shapes and font have not changed. It appears that the globe on top originally revolved. From the perforations, it appears it was probably backlit as well. The first photo above is from 2013. At the end of 2015 or early 2016, the sign was repainted. The second and third photos are from 2017. The name and font must have been inspired by the former Sahara Hotel sign in Las Vegas, NV.

I believe the Robin Hood Motel sign is probably from the late 1950s or 1960s. It is virtually the same as it was originally. The first photo is from 2013. The second and third photos are from 2017 after the sign had been repainted and the plastic panels had been replaced. For more, see this website. [map]

The Angel Stadium baseball park was built from 1964-1966. This 23-story tall "Big A" sign was originally used inside the park as a scoreboard support. In the late 1970s, this sign was moved to the parking lot. The halo is lit at night when the Angels win a game. The text panel in the middle now advertises for Coca-Cola. The bottom panel now has an electronic message board. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, and 4. [map]

The Americana Motel was built in 1958 and this sign was probably from then. The hole in the middle originally had a backlit plastic panel that read Swim Pool [scan thanks Heather David]. The motel was demolished in 2021. The sign was accidentally destroyed then.

The Linbrook Family Billiards sign might have been from the 1960s or 1970s. The business closed around 2022 and the sign is gone. There is an identical sign in Westminster, CA.

The Buffalo Trading Post sign was built in 1960. It was originally installed much closer to the ground. The sign later advertised for Dr. Yoonho Chang. This photo is from 2015. The sign was restored in 2019. By 2022, it was gone.
