Item Description
VINTAGE RYKO 1 ONE CAR WASH TOKEN COIN
In the 1950s, before seat belts were standard equipment, young Seattle baby boomers bouncing around in the back seat of the family car were entranced when they were driven past a rotating neon sign in the shape of a cheerful pink elephant. It wore a rakish little pillbox hat and was hosing itself off with its own trunk. Children were known to beg their parents to stop and get the car washed at the Elephant Car Wash, the business the sign was promoting. The place was the very profitable brainchild of a farm boy from Whidbey Island, Eldon Anderson, one of a family of five boys and a girl. He and two younger brothers came up with both innovative technology and some inspirational branding to create a beloved Seattle business. In 2020, when it was announced that the landmark sign would be vanishing from the landscape, Seattleites representing multiple generations reacted with sadness.
