In Wildhorse BBQ just south of Sallisaw, OK. It's right on a (very) recently bypassed stretch of US 59, so the sign is fitting.

Here's a pic without flash. I had to adjust the levels quite a bit because the picture was very dark.

The BBQ was good, and very reasonably priced. A true hole in the wall BBQ joint.
Beautiful sign.
Hodad's (http://www.hodadies.com/) in San Diego has a Hawaii 11 cutout hanging on the wall beyond the register. Have never gotten a photo of it though...
Pizza by Stout in Joplin, MO has a Missouri US 136 cutout and a California-style US 61 cutout. They have a second 136 shield that appears to be a pasted over US 40.
can you get some photos please?
I'm guessing the 61 looks like this 40:

that's the freeway standard from the late 50s. Not quite the same shape as a California cutout, but the same legend for sure.

Similar, but a little wider at the "neck" .
As far as photos, I'll try to remember to ask permission next time I'm up that way. ;-)
heh so MO also used the "wider around the neck" style? didn't know that ... though for all I know we have an example in the gallery, and I personally uploaded it, and I just plain don't remember.
in fact ... we sure do.
