I Scream, You Scream For Hoot Hoot Ice Cream
Naturally, the Hoot Hoot I Scream sold ice cream. According to Future Studio, the Hoot Hoot was a real recycling project:
The head rotated; the eyes, made from Buick headlamps, blinked; the sign: Hoot hoot, I scream, used elements of a theater marquee. For over 50 years, Tillie Hattrup ran this L.A.-area refreshment spot designed and built by her husband, Roy in 1926-27. It was demolished in 1979.
More info on the building, with additional digital recreation images, can be found here.

Old Chum (aka Walter Manning of the Old Faithful Shop) says they are from California Crazy: Roadside Vervancular Architecture, compiled by Jim Heimann and Rip Georges; more pics here at his other blog.
