The Lancaster sign was installed in 1962. The panels were three different shades of red, indicating that some letters had been replaced over the years. In 2016, the sign was donated to a collector who plans to open a McDonald's Museum in Pennsylvania.

The Magnolia sign is from 1961. It was originally located about a mile away. When that location closed in 1996, the sign was moved to this one. Although there is now a modern building, this sign remains. For more, see this website. [map]

The Tacoma sign is the most interesting since it reads "Restaurant" rather than "Hamburgers." I believe the "Hamburgers" letters are from the early 1960s. Like some of the other signs shown above, the "McDonald's" letters are beveled rather than flat. The beveled letter signs are a later version of the "Skinny M" signs, probably from the late 1960s. There is another one like this in Renton, WA. I think the older sign panels were swapped for the "Restaurant" panels later on. The Tacoma location also features a vintage looking beveled pole sign. I have not seen any other signs like this. [map]

The San Jose sign read "Drive-Thru" instead of "Hamburgers." This location and sign were demolished in 2017. There is another "Skinny M" sign at a different location in San Jose.

The Santa Maria sign has apparently been remodeled. The "M" panels are not segmented and are flat. The McDonald's letters are beveled but the "Hamburgers" letters are missing. [map]

The Whittier sign's "M" is also not segmented and the "Billions and Billions" wording is missing. Both the text panel and the "M" panels have been replaced. The text panel was replaced when the mansard style building was replaced with a new boxy style building. [map]

The Bangor and Muncie signs have been removed and replaced with modern signs.

By 2013, the Topeka sign panels were changed. The sign no longer reads "Hamburgers," "Drive-Thru," or "Billions and Billions Served." [map]

The Little Rock sign was built around 1970. This may be the only "Skinny M" left that had the word "Drive-Thru" instead of "Hamburgers." In 2023, the sign panels had been replaced with flat plastic versions with only the word "McDonald's" like the Salt Lake City sign. [map]

The Salt Lake City sign panels were replaced at some point. In 2007, the panels had letters for "RESTAURANT." By 2021, the panels looked like this photo from 2022. [map]

The Quincy sign panel had been replaced and the graphic display board added by 2008. [map]

The Richmond location still had a mansard roof building in 2015. It was gone by 2018. [map]

The Hopkinsville location's mansard roof building had been replaced with a modern building by 2013. [map]

The North Syracuse location has two of these signs: one at both sides of the lot's entrances. [map]
