Hi Jay, yep that image was in 1970 just before he moved to his new church, a drive-in and walk-in type that was designed by Richard Neutra and built in 1961. "Dr. Schuller, who believed this outdoor ministry experience helped inspire him to later build the all-glass Crystal Cathedral, often states, "It was there I fell in love with the sky!"

Thanks Jay, I'll make the correction on the caption.

John,
That picture of Schuller cant be '55. The cars are too new. There is a 914 in the front row!

Russ: gonna believe in that kinder , gentler time, it was not even thought of in that way then.....I wonder how many of these beauties are still alive today and could give us an update on what they remember of this contest and the dealership?
They'd only be in their 80's......

EDIT: Did a little research and found this was located at Ivar and Sunset. All the cool buildings are gone.

Love the idea that place like this existed, John. Are any of the original buildings still intact? Great photos, loving Miss Control Tower! It is kinda odd though: the models are smiling... but in all but two pics, nobody else is. The groups posed with Miss New Car and Miss Auto Accesory look distinctly uncomfortable. Boss Man sure looks happy in the last photo, but the cuties are subdued. Must've been a long day.

Anyway, Miss Polish Job and Miss Lube Rack (most smiles from the guys!) probably never heard the end of it.

2012-05-18T13:49:01.296-07:00

hahahahahahaha ---I'm not so interested in the queens, as I am in that Infra-red paint job for 34.95.
I would get the whole fleet of projects done over the course of next month, even if I had no intent on getting any of the yard art / museum pieces running !!!!

Bring back the old days.....but in just certain things, as I kinda like the vicky's secret look a lot better than the pig's-in-a-blanket style

Thanks Bill!

NICE JOHN!! I must have missed this post because I was so image-deep in my three VLV postings. Great photos & write-up. It was cool meeting you there too!

Yep...see's sweet!

Great photos! What a step back. Who would I vote for? Miss Polish Job by name alone.

I've got my Dad's old trophies from this car, but that was when it ran a push rod mill. He told me he had plans for upgrading to the 4-cam but this is the first time I've ever seen a photo of one installed.

I wished I knew where it was...would make a great vintage piece or garage display.

Very well written John and couldn't agree with you more. This is my buddy Pete Smith's bad ass ride. https://www.facebook.com/pete.smith.5059

Here's some more info. Doug got his "Modern Specialist" dragster to an 11.41/115mph in the U.K. in 1964.
