I lived in Inglewood boardering Westchester but don’t remember the Barons. Fenders kept the Fuzz of you butt in those days. A 56 Merc Custom was one of the lowest models and to see one today, especially a Phaeton, would really be a treat.

We see Marvin Lee’s “City of Pasadena” at El Mirage in September 1949 getting the once-over from some S.C.T.A. inspectors.

The girl in that photo to me as a 32 year old man is far more attractive than 90% of what I see today. If anyone ever invents a time machine I’ll be first in line to go back to those decades.
