You’ll recall that about a month ago I posted a number of photos of the surviving “Laughing Bear” signs that advertised auto repair facilities whose mechanics were trained by Bear Manufacturing. I shared photos of these iconic signs that I’d encountered near my home. Well, today I came across another one: Irvine’s wheel alignment in Harbor City, CA.
Word on the street (literally) is that this is not an original sign. The business is said to begun in the 1950s or 1960s, when they had a more traditional sign (see photo below). The new sign appeared within the last decade.
Please keep your eyes peeled for more such signs, and send me your photos!
