Palomino Motel on Route 66 in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The Palomino Motel opened in 1953 with a different sign installed at that time. This sign dates from the 1960s but no longer stands at the Palomino in Tucumcari. It was sold and installed at Neonopolis, a complex that features stores and entertainment inside the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over a dozen vintage signs from around the country are clustered around an elevator tower. Photo by John Margolies, 1982. Vintage photo restored by Kathy Alexander
