Rancho Super Car Wash
Rancho Mirage

Zowee... it's.. it's .. an elephant! Rancho Super Car Wash off of Palm Desert Highway in Rancho Mirage to be exact. This classic car wash came under fire by the Rancho Mirage City Council a few years back, but public outcry saved it. It remains intact and operational and is a true local landmark. Many thanks to Ralph Squillace for the info on this car wash landmark.

Check out one of this elephant's siblings at Roadside Peek's Pacific Northwest Signage.
