This place is unusual in that the trees are growing through the structure. It has a single row of chevron topped beams in front, whereas most washes in this style have two rows. It has also been closed for quite some time. The wash equipment is still inside, but someone has been using the structure as a storage space.

Anaheim has been fairly brutal in destroying Googie architecture in the vicinity of Disneyland, but some still survive in the outer reaches of Orange County. The Pacific looks like another "modernized" Googie car wash in that the roofline has been cleaned up.

Another "new" design: this one looks like a dead bug with its legs up in the air. I wonder if the cables actually support the weight of the roof, or if they're merely decorations. NOTE: I just read in "Googie Redux" that the cables do, in fact, help to hold up the roof.
