Very nice. Probably prudent of them to stage the cars closer to the island/trees rather than the fountain. Every time I go by the fountain and it is running I get hosed....



I participated in a photo shoot in a similar location. They borrowed my Inferno Orange H2 to complete the model mix.

Was the '38 a six or straight-eight?
Jack from the pics I've looked at, it appears it might be the 6 cylinder?

Appears that the hood ornament was taller for the 8 cylinder, while my Dad's was a lower one.

The license plate would be hiding the other way to ID it I think.
(also the 6 was shorter wheelbase but wouldn't be able to tell by pic)

does anyone know what the deal with this parking lot is? I have seen this picture many times and always stare at it trying to spot a rare car.

Probably the most recognizable car there would be the VW Beetle, at least 24 that I can see.
