The 'heyday' of Old Hiway 99 was 1910 thru the 1960s, and this sign has the flavor of a 1950's tire shop. It is located on a short-lived and little-known route called "
U.S. 99E Truck," which existed from 1954-1956 (while the main course of U.S. 99E was on Summer and Capitol streets, several blocks to the east). Today, this route is part of Oregon Highway 99E "Business."
