Our first McDonalds in Ithaca, NY looked just like that back around 1960.

The building of the one where I worked (#330 in Beaverton, OR) was that style, built in the early ‘60s. They only put up the glassed-in area at the counter during the winter. Walk-up only, no drive-through, but there were a couple of disabled regulars for whom we’d go out to their car to get their order and then take their food out to them.

By the early ‘70s the sign was different. A hamburger was 20 cents, and the sign said however many billion sold.
