Thunderbird Motel
Show Low, AZ
7-Eleven [gone]
Tempe, AZ
Jerry's Drive-in Liquors
Tempe, AZ
The Thunderbird Motel was built in 1955 and had a smaller and shorter sign originally. This sign appears to be from the 1960s. For more, see this website. [map]

These trapezoid shaped 7-Eleven signs are very rare now. There are several left in California. However, the slanted letters on this sign and a few in California make them even older and rarer. This original logo was used until 1969. Most of the trapezoid 7-Eleven signs in California have straight type. I'm told that this sign at the Tempe location was replaced in 2022 with a modern sign. [map]
