Here's an old postcard shot of Vic's Car Wash. Located in Pico
Rivera off Rosemead and Slauson, Vic's sported the familiar parallel fins
on its front facade.

Many of the great neighborhood
car washes sport distinct and sometimes unique facades. Here's an
interesting looking car wash with odds and ends topping its posts.

Visiting the local Car Wash is like taking a step back in time to the
postwar years of the 50's and 60's. With their huge butterfly or aero
fin motifs, these car washes bring back memories of the days when structures
were built with monstrous appendages and gigantic marquees. One such example
is the Compton Car Wash. So stop, visit, and sneak a peek at the
remaining stalwarts of a fast disappearing era.
