Is #8501 NASCAR or what?

#8499 Al Jolson, or Jimmy Durante? Hard to tell from the angle. Is it from a movie still or advertisement?

Does anyone under 40 know who Al Jolson or Jimmy Durante?

Who knows anyone less than 40?

[6hk71400]

My three kids are under 40 so I picked that as an arbitrary age. I do remember Jolson and Durante. Jolson passed before I was born but entertained troops. Durante I saw on TV and both in old movies.

You didn't see a Panhard everyday! (Car on the right)

[Sam Ensley]

I've never heard of a Panhard before.

I've never heard of a Panhard before.

The car is French and originally was known as Panhard et Lavassor in 1891. Here are a couple of links:

I have a great photo in Ken Purdy's book based on the Harrah Collection published in 1965.

I see the '56 at the toll both. Is that a Hawk on the right edge of the photo?

[Noxnabaker]

Yes, I'm pretty sure it'a a Hawk there!
& the newest cars I reckon is the -58 Chevy & Oldsmobile.
But where was the photo taken?
