| Dusty, but intact. A magnificent model of an American icon.

| The fish Sandwich sign has a lot of excess plastic around it in the box. Most builders cut the sign off thinking its scrap. At one time these were selling at $300 plus...

| This brings back memories. I remember going to the big arches when I was a kid and paying .20 cents for a burger. Ah, the good old days...

I will confess, I really enjoy McDonalds. For a while, I would not eat their chicken nuggets, nor their hamburgers, after the Pink Slime expose, but they swear they have mended their ways. Please, hot dogs are my favorite food: don't tell me what's in them [barf emogie].

| Thanks Gary and Chops... This sits on my train table in an area with no detail added yet. So I brought it up and placed it on a Bose 901 speaker for photos...
