This is an interesting picture. Military, Woodies and at least one with white wall tires-pick 2 not all three!

 

One of them has a dance floor on top! Must have been the first tailgater party vehicles.
I can't figure out what such a large number of similar vehicles that don't have much military purpose or coloring would be all together like that. Are they truant officers? Fuller Brush salemen?

Anyone have some better suggestions?

Look at the one to the left of the dance floor - it has writing on the spare tire. Can't read what it says.

 

Man i'll give him 4 thousand dollars right now for that.

 

How many people do you suppose walked by that car and laughed at the dealer for asking such a ridiculous price for a car from a defunct and publicly, legally destroyed company.

 

Pineconeford,
I was thinking USO or press corp.
I don't see the dance floor, but it could be a camera platform.

 

^ Located at the NW corner of Olympic Blvd. and Bundy Drive in West Los Angeles. The last rendition showed a guy and gal on surfboards...riding a wave.

Drive-In was demolished in the 1970's, replaced by Martin Motors Cadillac. In the 1990's, FOX erected buildings on Bundy, north of Martin Motors.

Coupla weeks ago, I drove by, Martin Motors has closed, no idea what will replace it. FOX is still there, may be taking over the rest of the land.

1981-1993: I lived 5 blocks east of Martin Motors.

btw: Preston Tucker was not convicted of fraud, 51 Tuckers were assembled, most of them are extant.

Tucker signed up 100's of dealers. Ralph Hamlin, the Los Angeles Tucker dealer originally sold Stanley Steamers, then Franklin's. Hamlin was also involved in auto racing.

Tucker was the former Indiana Packard Distributor, located in Indianapolis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get out of the way, woman, you're blocking the light.
