Guy who wrote the city names onto the poster must've been distracted by the image of the groovy gal- many cities' locations are incorrect: Santa Monica south of Long Beach? Canoga Park (middle of the San Fernando Valley) nearly up by Bakersfield? |
Yeah, at a minimum they swapped Long Beach and Santa Monica.Torrance is wacky, too.
But then, plots were never the strong suit of those productions, were they? |

Apologies for the pictures of pictures. Discovered on ebay today. Interesting. Would love to see color pictures. Looks like the convertibles have different names/logos. Too bad there weren't more of the busses. |

^ ^ Seems like a very isolated location either in the US midwest or Canadian plains... Like a "last chance garage", or a late 1950's version of the classic ad "Somewhere west of Laramie" which was from the mid 1920's Jordan Playboy automobile. Is the old pump attendant still wearing his railroad engineer hat from his morning shift job? |

Due north of Laramie on the other side of Wyoming, right up the road from a town called Recluse. I came through there in the late 90s. That service station was still there then. I didn't see the guy in the engineers hat. |

The edge of the Shlitz sign says it's not in Canada, I'm not sure if they even sell that stuff here now, if they do it's recent.
edit, google says it's in Wyoming:

I was all ready to claim the Schlitz sign was a combo ad for True commercial display refrigerators, which would make sense in this application. Same logo colors, angled rectangles... but then the colors are not in the right order, so it's s no-go.

Good research on this "one-horse" "town", guys. Amazing that in such a large state, FarmerBill actually went past it. Looking at GoogleMaps now, it's also still just a single spot. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.7082127,-105.83601...312!8i6656 |
