Sorry, another reply not really what you're asking for...

This sounds like a great idea. Actually, Chris, I used some kind of guide you put together of googie spots for a tour something like 10 years ago. All that great stuff like La Habra Bowl, gravity defying car washes, etc. When I saw this topic, I remembered a little insignificant tiki out front at Little Joe's, on Chapman in Orange. I was curious if you had it in your list, but then, it was 10 years ago I ate there, so the odds are it's gone. I'm sure this is one of a zillion stories (and not what you're looking for in this thread), but sadly Google street view confirmed that Little Joe's is gone.

They had this great mural in the back - one of those maps with exaggerated sense of scale. See the tiny Little Joe's sign with the tiny moai?

Here's the tiki outside, in 2002.

2012 street view - "Extremes". Really, is that name a joke? I don't see Elmer Dills, Max Jacobson, and Kitty Morgan recommending this place!!?!
