That shot with the Corvette, is definately SoCal, and you can just make out two types of our 'signature' L.A. Palm trees, and a stucco home with Spanish tile roof, at the right horizon. Most likely 1962, as Signal 4-Star Ethyl, was just being introduced in very early 1962, as a 'new' product. Note the gal with the cigarette in her fingers, while the man gases up the vette! I love those early Corvettes; it was a must-have car, when I was at PHS!
That New York Dairy (previous post) and no longer in business, was right down the street from the long time Driftwood Dairy, which is still going strong on Lower Azusa Rd. in El Monte. When I was in HS, I worked part time in the mornings, for a Driftwood route-man. On the weekend days, I would go with him (very early) in his Divco, down to Lower Azusa and ice up and load up the truck.
