    Not the “Rod from Roscoe,” but could have been close to it in 1945 Los Angeles.

    So little update, PHOTOS FOUND!
    Working with a guy on the 60's history but nothing concrete yet.
    @Tim came by to look it over and made two great observations. The stainless trim around the mural is 46 ford window trim and the square holes in the tailpan are sized right for 40's chevrolet or ford tail lights and the pontiac tail lights where likely added later.

    I've got the story from 1970-1978
    1969/70 cars bought by a Vic Lynn somewhere near Elkhorn WI
    It was driven wearing a red/white (I'm thinking yellow) paint job up until about 1974 when it gets painted chevrolet brown metallic.
    Somewhere between 1974 and 1978 the mural was painted by a Jack Cominski of Spring Grove.
    Unfortunately Vic is no longer with us and his son has been more than helpful contacting some old friends who might know more.
