Demolition will spare the El Rancho Motel's big sign in Barstow, California.
A massive fire early this year will cause the demolition of the motel itself.
It was built in the 1940s by Cliff Chase, partly out of old railroad ties.
The 100-foot-high neon sign was erected in 1947.
NOVEMBER 15
The huge neon Budweiser sign in St. Louis, Missouri, has been relighted. It is along Highway 40 and I-64 and includes a 32-foot flapping eagle.
It cost $350,000 to build in 1953 and was originally located on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles before being moved to St. Louis in 1962.
