    I'm trying to date this photo of El Cortez Hotel, downtown Las Vegas. The election poster for Governor Pittman helps narrow this down to fall of 1946, 1950 or 1954. I don't think I'm seeing '54-era cars here.

    The furthest right car is a 1949 or 1950 Pontiac. The one parked on the other side of the road (the front is obscured) is a 1949-51 Ford. The one in front of the Ford is a 1946-48 Dodge.

    The picture could be anything after 1950, and could easily be from '54 as every car I can identify would have been less than 10 years old at the time.
