Parade outside Verne Orr Motors

 

A little break from the Christmas-y slides, tho' still seems seasonal.

American do love a parade, and I suspect this is another New Years Day parade.

Some googling suggest that this is Verne Orr Motors in Pasadena, California, and the window display suggests that this is from late 1952 or early 1953.  Verne Orr later went on to be Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Air Force.  Verne may be disgusted to know that the showroom now is home to Jaguar cars.  Damned Furriners.
