ICONIC

This is a car lot in Cincinnati, OH. The Giant Indian has been there since the 1950s or '60s. The place used to be called Cherokee Motors, and the catch line on their TV commercials was "Cherokee Motors.........where Paddock meets Vine at the big Indian sign."

    I love scenes like this. So much of it is disappearing.

    Just the right amount of street images to make this iconic sign stand out!

    Nice that it has likely gone from fun to so very un p.c. to retro to an icon in its life.

    Iconic indeed - lots of colour and good to see that the 'PC police' haven't ordered it to be removed
