Frisch’s Mainliner sign to shine once again

The iconic Frisch’s Mainliner sign is getting a second life – complete with its signature red neon glow and spinning airplane propellers. The iconic Big Boy landmark will get a new life at the American Sign Museum. The Camp Washington museum acquired the sign in late 2024 and spent the following years restoring its lighting and mechanical features. The work included replacing LED lighting behind the plastic Mainliner letters with new neon tubing made in the museum’s neon shop, restoring lightbulbs throughout the airplane and finding a way to get its propellers spinning again.
