What happened to Felix the Cat?
In 2007, the city of Los Angeles almost
declared the historic Felix Chevrolet neon sign and dealership an official landmark. Then Mayor Villaraigosa's office asked the Cultural Heritage Commission to stop the
process, claiming it would be bad for business. Darryl Holter of Felix Chevrolet promised to maintain the sign for future generations. Five years later, Felix Chevrolet
partnered with General Motors to rip out the vintage neon tubes and illuminate Felix the Cat with
LEDs. If you want Felix Chevrolet to honor its promise to the city and restore this great neon sign, please
sign the petition.
