"Habitual traffic violator gets a sticker on the window of his hot rod. This sign brands cars of Los Angeles drivers who break auto safety laws. Officer L. Samson decorates the windshield of Richard W., one of 98 who preferred the sticker to jail on July 23, 1947."
I wonder if he owned a razor blade? I don't know about now but they used to give out zebra tags in oregon for certain traffic violations I guess it was supposed to keep you from driving or something like that.
I was thinking the same thing. And to add to the fun, ol' Beav' hisself is standing behind the car..... And what the hell fell on the radiator?
Lord that battery is ugly right there. The radiator looks like it came from a '36. Guess they really did build r_t r_ds back then.
Bet it was a chick magnet too. Looks like Mike Imperioli form the Sopranos next to the guy with the tie on, who may be the barber or a soda jerk. So much to see in a cl***ic picture.
That's been posted on here before and the general consensus was that most HAMBers would wear it with pride.
I wonder if it was required that they stick it on while you sit in your car and the entire town looks on and laughs at you.
There's one on the car behind it, too. These guys were getting "scarlet letters" of the traffic world. Is it me, or do those front brakes look like they're missing the rods? That could be the reason he's driving reckless.
I sent an email to a buddy that's been in the biz for many years and has been maintaining through these tough times. He's going to see what he can do to run off a group of them...
