The 40 Motel of Columbus, OH looks like a poor man's version of
the old Holiday Inn marquee of the 60's. Featuring similar, though subdued,
colors, the 40 Motel makes a not so subtle reference to the highway.

Here are a couple of motels named the Arrowhead. The Arrowhead Motel in Wisconsin is still in fantastic shape and its make-up appears to be
porcelain.

The Star Motel in Wisconsin looks like the 60's Holiday Inn sign.
Not sure if this is one of the originals or just a copycat version.

The Overpass Motel is getting lit-up for another evening of work.
This motel is located at the intersection of US Hwy 27 and SR 32 in Winchester,
Indiana. The motel is still in business and this wonderful old sign shines
brightly each night. Many thanks to Ken Bailey for info.
