On the beach, California, 1960s

Where exactly this beach parking lot photo – which we found on the forums at CorvairCenter.com – was taken, we’re not entirely sure, but those appear to be black California license plates on a few of the cars, and Southern California does indeed have palm trees and beaches and big parking lots, so we’ll roll with that. When it was taken we can probably determine from the cars in the parking lot. What do you see here?
