That VW Bus only had a 25 horse motor.

 

Not true, On November 6, 1960, Gable was sent to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, where doctors found that he had suffered a heart attack. Newspaper reports the following day listed his condition as satisfactory. By the morning of November 16, he seemed to be improving. But he died that evening at age 59 from an arterial blood clot. Medical staff did not perform CPR for fear that the procedure would rupture Gable's heart, and a defibrillator was not available

Wow. I never realized that or have forgotten. My dad was one of the main cardiologists at Hollywood Presbyterian at the time and I don't remember him ever mentioning it. Now I know why! Your information is incorrect, Gable died at Cedars-Sinai!

 

From LA Times;
Clark Gable died at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital Wednesday at 11 p.m.

The 59-year-old star had been hospitalized since he was stricken with a heart attack Nov. 6.

B.J. Caldwell, hospital administrator, said it was assumed that another heart attack took the actor's life.

"He appeared to be doing fine," said Caldwell. "He was sitting up, then he put his head back on the pillow and that was that."

Now ,now....let`s not let the truth stand in the way of self aggrandization.

10-4, thanks, that makes sense. I do remember when most of the traffic signals in L.A. were the semaphore style.

 

Looks more like Mitch Miller trying to get the officers to sing along with him.

 

I think Dr. Blake from the PBS show has one of those, the show is from Australia.

Another interesting photo, Rootie! Looks like actress Lya Lys posing in what appears to be a converted two man car. From the painting on the wall (#54 Bowes Seal Fast...Ralph Hepburn) I'm guessing this photo is from 1941. Am I close at all?

Thanks.
