Here is a fabulous piece of Retro-L.A. artwork; which you forum members should enjoy!
This was painted by the great American artist,
Stan Stokes, who is especially noted for his fabulous Aviation Art.
His artwork appears within multiple Presidential Libraries.
I own this (printed on metal) version of his 'Welcome to L.A.' piece.
His prints, paintings and signed works are available online, under his name.
In 1955, the California Highway Patrol placed a large fleet order (270) for Century 2-door sedans, a body style unavailable to the general public. It combined the Special 2-door sedan body shell with Century powertrain and trim.
Only two of these original CHP 1955 Buicks are known to still exist; however, there are multiple 'clones' across the country. My dad bought the (public) 4-door version in 1955. I remember many road trips, throughout SoCal, in that comfortable car. BTW, the other red car, is a 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible. Furthermore, for perspective, this is a view you may have had at that time, somewhere just off the Hollywood Fwy., near the SR-110 connector to the US-101.
