Awesome Photo from 1965

[Busstom]

My employer posts a banner photo on our intranet homepage every two days or so. Yesterday was "throwback Thursday," and they posted this pic of Fabian Way in Palo Alto, California, in 1965.

I count at least nine Beetles, and perhaps two more in the far right side of the photo, inside the fenced-in parking lot. There are two ovals, two ragtops, and a 'vert amongst the herd. Can you spot them? Depending on the upload resolution, and your screen, it may be difficult, but I think for sure you can find the 9 (you may have to save the photo out and use a viewer).

This building still stands just the same today, except the trees are huge now, and we've erected some much taller buildings in the background. This company started out at as Philco Western Development Labs, then became Ford Aerospace, then Space Systems/Loral, and now we're simply called SSL. You can go here if you like to see some of the most kick-ass hardware orbiting the planet https://www.sslmda.com/

Looks like they made the lowly VW-driving engineers park on the street!

Oops, there is one hiding behind the Chevy.

I have family in the area I'll forward this to; they'll get a kick out of it.

There is a dedicated sticky in the Reader's Rides forum for vintage photos: Vintage And Old VW Pics Topic

Cool picture....my '65 bug was originally purchased at Gus Mozart VW in Palo Alto. Took me awhile to find some dealer plate frames.
