I first noticed this back in the 80's in photo ads, usually the Auto Trader and throw-away weeklies. I think the blur was used to make it more...

What you got there is a Commer in the corner.
I have to agree with the other Socal guys. Back in the day, Pomona was both huge and awesome. Today, it is chrome goodies for you SBC, air cooled...
