Where was this black 55? California, mid west, east coast?

On this site is a picture of Clark Gable looking over a super charged engine. Is it along the lines of the pictures you saw/have?http://vs57.y-block.info/pin_ups.htm[/quote]

I took a look at the site linked. They state that the pic is Clark Gable looking over the supercharger in HIS T-Bird... but Gable's car was actually sitting a few feet away when this photo was taken and his car was a dark color, not the light one shown. In my photo set he parks his dark car (I think red) next to this light car and sits there with a starlet while he smokes a cigarette. BTW, Gabe loved Packards too!
