Portland OR Oregon Crown Motel Retro Neon Sign Chrome Postcard Unused

This vintage postcard features the Crown Motel located at 5226 N. Interstate Ave., Portland, Oregon, just 1½ miles from the city center. The postcard showcases a vibrant, colorful image of the motel's iconic neon sign with a large sword and crown, advertising TV phones, vacancy, and AAA approval. The mid-century modern architecture of the two-story motel, along with several classic cars in the parking lot, reflects the style and travel culture of the 1950s-1960s era.

Printed by NWN Color-Litho Post Cards, Aurora, Missouri, this original linen-textured postcard is a great collectible for enthusiasts of vintage roadside Americana and neon signage. The back provides detailed information about the motel's amenities including telephone switchboard service, cable electric heat, radio, TV, air conditioning, and tile tubs and showers. It also highlights the motel's proximity to Killingsworth and Interstate Avenue intersections and nearby restaurants and shopping centers. The postcard remains unposted, preserving its clean reverse side for collectors.
