Thanks to Hoss for identifying the '55 Studebaker Speedster in the 1966 Ruscha image.....I'd never heard of the car....did a little research, it came out of the studio of legendary designer Raymond Loewy....Studebaker wanted a competitor for the Corvette and T-Bird, hence the sleek lines....another Ruscha, this from 1974....





5914-16 Melrose Ave. (1 block west of Vine/Rossmore).....it took the sleuths at LAPD vice 16 years to discover what was going on in this place....

Aside from the usage this was an unassuming and inoffensive building....eventually replaced by this hideous thing....
