It's weird all right, but at the time it was made it must have looked quite futuristic!

OK, but the only questions asked are where the car was pictured and when; you should be able to glean that from what you've found?

No, not Venice Beach.

That's right.
Actually this was still locked for kwgibbs as I said it was locked for him to find the location of the picture, though I didn't repeat it in every post.
He was getting extremely close with Pasadena so I'm sure his next guess would have been Irwindale and for that reason I've given him a point anyway as well as you, which I think is fair.

Here's the un-modified puzzle picture:

I thank you for the point, and yes Irwindale would have been my next guess.

No problem, it wasn't very clear and you had to go back a lot of posts to see the lock!
