Longview #41: Chinese Village

3061 Ocean Beach Highway

Chinese Village Sign in Longview, Washington on September 5, 2005
Chinese Village Sign on September 5, 2005.

I have a soft spot for cars on signs. This 1936 Ford Tudor Sedan at the Chinese Village was placed here in the 1970s when the restaurant was called Bonnie and Clyde's, which closed in the late 1980s. Chinese Village closed in September 2009. The car was practically a Longview landmark until it was removed from the sign on February 27, 2010 and subsequently donated to the local Unique Tin Car Club. The club plans to restore the car.
