Here's a nice clear pic of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, before they turned that parking lot these people are walking across into a pond, and went to underground parking. The building itself still looks like this today.

Great pic! What many people didn't realize was that James Garner did his own driving in that series, as well as driving in one of the all time classic racing movies "Grand Prix". Garner also drove in the Baja series (off road) in a 1970 Oldsmobile 442.

In later years, he was a spokesperson for Oldsmobile. He appeared at the Oldsmobile 100th Celebration in Lansing back in 1997, and seemed to really enjoy being a car guy.

Some more pics: Garner's 70 442, his 68 Corvettes in a showroom, and appearing with the 1979 Trans Am Kammback.

Those were required apparel for Corvette shopping, as well as the sunglasses they are both wearing!
