McDonald's still retains its 1950s

Would you like some nostalgia with those fries? World's oldest surviving McDonald's still retains its 1950s feel - and the restaurant's original mascot 'Speedee'

• Restaurant in Downey, California was only the third McDonald's ever built
• The branch opened in 1953, looking almost exactly as it still does today
• It was run independently from main business, so retained original design
• Staff still wear 1950s uniforms while serving original recipe burgers

This is the world's oldest surviving McDonald's restaurant - which still retains a classic 1950s feel, as well as the fast food chain's original mascot 'Speedee'.

Built in 1953, the restaurant in Downey, California still has its original red-striped exterior, giving it an appearance quite different from the other 30,000 McDonald's restaurants around the world.

The unique, time-capsule appearance of the restaurant is completed by the 1950s-style uniforms the staff wear, and the original recipe hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries and milkshakes.
