You just can't beat a cool car and a hot babe, shot with 1950s Kodachrome.  I think that's a 1951 Ford with a split front windshield.  It doesn't look like a color I recall from my youth -- almost a Gun Metal Gray.

But wait -- there's more!!

The photos below popped up after I had posted the shot above.  They show La Verne and "Dick" in front of, and in the alley behind, "Dr. Phaleu's house" at 4480 Hermosa Way in Mission Hills.
