#2001 loox to me to be fake, nobody's looking at the stuff in the air - more ahead & wanna know what's stopped the traffic.
& what's the two struts in the Chevy's rear window? it's a pretty standard-looking 4-door so I doubt it's a roll-cage...

It's probably rear window shade supports like these:

Yep Christophe, I thought so but since the sun is shining on the picture it kinda makes me wonder where the rest is hiding...

Vernon, California Studebaker Assembly Plant

There must be a story here --- why are all the non-Studes at a Studebaker assembly plant?

I believe that caption is wrong. The Vernon plant closed at the end of 1956 and those are clearly 1961 Larks. They are definitly part of a fleet order as one can see an emblem of sorts on the door.

I passed on the caption with the picture. Sorry it was incorrect.

# 2001 - Looks like a typical Los Angeles traffic jam in the 60s. Stuck in the smog! Yuk!

If you don't know the back-story of this photo (and the front-story?) you haven't been paying attention, or you're new here.
