Hey, after all it is the desert!
Good question. Check out the other signs:
- What is the LMWCGLM building?
- The Neggul El Last Club?
- Are those Chinese characters over the Rancho Club Club?
Probably is AI, I traced it back to a facebook post. Opinions varied...
Likely it was dodging copyright laws.
Good point!!Likely it was dodging copyright laws.
Either dodging copyright, or someone asked AI to whip up what it thought would pass for a pic of LV back then. Everything about that image screams AI to me.

They could be code words for naughty places and/or look at the Lancho Hottel. Is Hottel someone's last name?

Illuminated tires developed by Goodyear in 1961 but were never mass produced.
In the early 1960s, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company experimented with illuminated tires, a concept that seemed revolutionary at the time. The project, led by chemist William Larson and engineer Anthony Finelli, aimed to create a tubeless, cordless tire with a translucent material called Neothane. This innovative compound allowed for the dyeing of tires in various colors.
Engineers fitted the tires with 18 light bulbs wired into the center of the wheel, creating an electroluminescent-like glow on the ground and in the car’s wheel wells.

Although I don't consider this to be an antique it brings back memories for me. It's a fur price list from when I was around 18. I used to ship a lot of furs to this company.
