Old AAA Baja Sign


Just saw this image on the SeminarioHistoria BajaCalifornia Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/seminariohistoria.bajacalifornia).




This is classic Baja. Does anyone remember these signs?

I would love to know if any of these old signs still exist, whether in a museum or private collection. The fact that both the Hamilton and Johnson ranches are on the sign is really cool too.

Oh yes, I saw them as a kid when my folks and I drove to the tip of Baja in '66... I have seen them in private collections, too. One was brought to my first Viva Baja party as a Baja show and tell item.

The sign above would be near Colonia Vicente Guerrero, north of San Quintin. The Hamilton Ranch was a popular fly in resort until the 1960's or so. Hollywood movie stars would go there to have some privacy.
