While the sign was at MONA, a replica was made for West Hollywood's "On Route - 66 Lights" display. The sign was then sold to another sign collector in Los Angeles. He had the sign restored and loaned it to the Museum of Neon Art in Los Angeles. When the motel was demolished in the 1990s, the sign was saved by a collector. The original sign was built in 1950 when the motel added a pool. These diver signs are replicas of the Virginia Court Motel sign which was located in Meridian, MS. This La Fonda sign reappeared at MONA in Glendale in 2016. It was one of several vintage signs which were displayed there for the West Hollywood's "On Route - 66 Lights" installation which celebrated the city's 25th anniversary. In 2010, it was installed in the median of Santa Monica Boulevard. The sign was displayed at Universal Studios' CityWalk from 1993-2000. It was removed in 1982 and donated to the museum in 1984.
