This next one was taken in LA in 1960. I'm stunned by how few VWs there are compared to all the American iron. (Click to enlarge.)

Interesting photo. Well taken, not tilted as so many are; probably by a pro. I zoomed in several times to note some details.
-Sign in center background reads "Casper Cor... (Corral?)", could be Casper, Wyoming.
-Yellow Dodge Charger Daytona Coupe (or Plymouth SuperBird?) was 1 year only, 1969 model year. See the rear wing? Large front nose lateral indent confuses me as to model, since the SB typically had the headlamp flaps painted black but a larger front indent than the CDC.
-Rambler at far right has green/white Colorado lic. plate. CO alternated the colors of their plates from one year to next. Mostly green mountains against white "sky" used in '68 and '70. '69 had mostly white, with green ridges at bottom.
-Wyoming had the "bucking bronco" embossed in the left half of the lic. plates. None of the cars near the foreground appear to have that style plate...
-Brown Beetle could be a '63, with sliding sunroof but no front hood Wolfsburg crest. Due to wide rear track yet no apparent wide tires in this perspective, could be reversed rear wheel mounting. Passenger (woman?) sits quite close to center of the car and to driver.
-Black early '50's Plymouth turning to its left- driver wearing full brim hat |

Out of curiosity, what was the back story with the ladies? Military PCS move from Florida to Colorado? Two friends who were living the classic American major life/career change experience?

Man, you don't want to get stranded there with no phone. And for the 60s, you would need a very long cable to have a working phone there.

No clue, I'm afraid. These were random finds on the net with zero info.
More, this time from New Zealand:
