I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the 1960-73 Checker Marathon taxi about to roll past the Vega in question. Not too many made it to the west coast. Maybe the studio got a deal on a used one for an NYC-based series? Really should be in yellow livery, though. |

When I was a kid, one of my crazier uncles decided to spray tint eveyone's car windows in our backyard. It was a really hot day in August, so everyone sat around drinking refreshments while my uncle went from car to car spraying this greenish goo. As the afternoon progressed....the tint, that my uncle had just sprayed, began to slowly slide (drip) down the windows in undulating waves. After that I mostly remember a HUGE fight...and everyone taking off in their cars. My dad always said it was like we were riding around inside an aquarium. If my sister or I felt ill he'd jokingly ask if we were car sick or sea sick. :no: (he thought he was real comedian) __ |

Pinafore

Hi Ethereal: Pardon if someone else has already answered your post about a "Penafore"...the correct spelling is "Pinafore." "A collarless and sleeveless dress." You may have heard of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta "H.M.S. Pinafore." |

Mason in Malibu
Not so much a mystery location... https://i.postimg.cc/FH3QTQTW/pmmalibu1-bmp.jpg Edsels everywhere, even as the brand was being killed in the fall of '59 https://i.postimg.cc/R0hyj5dx/pmmali...7indic-bmp.jpg The address reads "1417"...but one of the Perry Mason sites says its 24246 Malibu Road, as seen below. Not sure if it's the same, but it could be... https://i.postimg.cc/FsNQK6pw/pmmalibugsv-bmp.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3JvDKdLt/pmmalibu3-bmp.jpg |

I'll add one more. Jimbo is actually driving the ratty VW seen here. He borrowed it from Pizza Dan. https://i.imgur.com/k2IR6T4.jpg?1 https://www.facebook.com/TOJGFP/post...9506528407880/ |
Trocadero nightclub at 8610 Sunset Blvd, looking south from Sunset Plaza, Los Angeles
We can tell that this cool shot of the Trocadero nightclub on the Sunset Strip was taken in the late 1930s from the 1938 or 1939 Cadillac Sixty Special out front. That means that this photo was taken as the Hollywood studio system was reaching what is widely considered its zenith—1939 aka Hollywood’s Greatest Year—which makes me wonder who was inside the Trocadero that night...

Halloween is just around the corner so I thought I'd post this spooky snapshot that has haunted my morgue files for years.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Xb0Ngu.jpg old file / ebay? To me, this looks like it was taken in Los Angeles. ...perhaps somewhere in the vicinity of North Broadway. Just. A. Guess. |

https://i.postimg.cc/Y0pHFNsH/mab.jpg [source: zillow.com] It's currently for sale. "First time ever on the market for sale, built in 1956...only one owner." $6,600,000. BTW, I love the large glass float hanging above the deck in the Perry Mason frame grab. That was a very popular design element in the late 50s/early 60s. |

Nah, too out-of-the-way for our NLA Clubhouse. [puts checkbook away] |

http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ntschlers1.jpg GSV Here's a side view. At some point the porch has been filled in (probably not such a nice place to sit any more), but most of the other original features remain. http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...ntschlers2.jpg GSV |
:previous: Yes! That's it.
You can also tell by the rather unusual high curb that surrounds the property. (just inside the sidewalk) Good sleuthing Hoss. |

Daily-ish Perry Mason
A few mysteries and a few non-- https://i.postimg.cc/brQH2yQb/pmknick-bmp.jpg Not one but two '56 Birds passing by the old Knick https://i.postimg.cc/GpxCzGdS/pmhollywooddiv-bmp.jpg The old Hollywood Division, not long for this world...Paul in his '58 Bird again https://i.postimg.cc/MTfgNBSS/pmcomp...nulift-bmp.jpg I figured out the location...but mysteries are more fun, right? https://i.postimg.cc/YCJ68Lbg/pmfactorybldg-bmp.jpg ? https://i.postimg.cc/1zv9sw2V/pmaptstall-bmp.jpg Park Labrea/La Brea? Westwood? Like a lot of old films, Perry Mason often required required quite a bit of willing suspension of disbelief...once Perry and Della got into building, it was of style not at all modern...and the elevator seemed to go only to the 4th floor... https://i.postimg.cc/9fZnBhtm/pmaptssmall-bmp.jpg Hotel Connecticut?
