I looked... wasn't able to find a prior post on the Home for the Aged of the Little Sisters of the Poor, once, and still partly, at 2750 East 1st Street. (Same palms?)
LAPL
FredH: The first LAPD Ford (at the tunnels in front of the unmarked beige '51) is a '53... the '53 and the '54 had taillights that differed in profile from the '52's. What confirms it for me is the "Mainline" badge, which was the same as the '52 but was made smaller for '54. I'll defer to you on the second unit--the one with the Juicy Fruit sign....
As for the Corvette--not really a marque of mine, but I did grow up next to a Corvette nut who had a turquoise '58 and once told me it was the only one around that time with hood louvers... don't remember if they were functional. The hood on that blue beauty looks smooth, but it's hard to tell.
