Looks like the law thought this Studebaker was the best place to take cover during a shootout with some criminals .

"Holdup 12/30/1957 at 930 W. Manchester, Inglewood, CA" per the notes on the back. It looks like it was called "The Beacon" Niteclub, Bar? not sure.
I do know where that was, it probably looks a lot different now though.
I don't think anyone was getting out of there without being dead or in custody, they even have shotgun armed Cops on the roof, they are not messing around!
I wonder if that is a cloud of teargas in two of the pics, that would explain why that couple are holding their face, nose.

Cracks me up that the camera guys are standing right out in the open! "Duh! They wont shoot me, I'm just holding a camera!"
On a side note, check out the gun at the bottom left of the second picture. Is that a shot gun or some type of tear gas gun?
