This is the site of Johnnie's Broiler located in Downey, CA. This icon of the 50's Drive in's, as well as a location in numerous films (scroll down) , is now a lovely car dealership. At least they have kept the signs and structure. More info and pictures of it in it's heyday can be found here.
Sad news: The current owner began to demolish the structure (Without a permit) Sunday evening 01/08/06. Local law enforecement stepped in to stop the demolition, but most of the structure is already destroyed. Looks to be a total loss,
