The sign is now at the Valley Relics Museum in Van Nuys, CA. The Santa Monica location closed around 2016. The Culver City location closed in 2015 and a Dunkin' Donuts has opened at the site.

I'd love to know when they made the switch. The Dinuba, Selma and Santa Cruz locations feature later plastic signs.
