Close up view of a neon sign showing the cartoon character, Felix the Cat, pointing to the words "Felix". The rooftop sign is located on the corner of Figueroa St. and Jefferson Blvd. William B. Felix, the original founder of Felix Chevrolet/Cadillac, asked his good friend Pat Sullivan, comic book publisher of the cartoon character, for permission to use the famous black cat to advertise his dealership. The letters in "Felix" are almost 15 feet tall. Photo dated: October 8, 2005.
