The caption says that this picture exists on page 225 of the book "Archives d'une passion" (Archives of a passion) by Antoine Rafaëlli, published by Maeght Éditeusr in 1997.

1stGrumpy's offering shows a young woman with Elvis in a publicity still from the movie "Loving You". The actress is Dolores Hart (Dolores Hicks) she made several films and was quite successful. I believe she even won a Tony Award. In 1963 she left acting to become a Roman Catholic nun at the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut. She today is known as Rev. Mother Dolores Hart. Oddly from what I have heard she is still a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Interesting woman.

 

Hey thanks for the info 29AVEE8, here's a couple more photo's of Dolores...

 

Wichita? The OTASCO threw me off.

 

"Never happened"----There were some balloon bombs that killed 6 in Oregon in 1942 tho.

 

She married Slim Jim Phantom of Stray Cats fame.

 

looks like its compliant with the headlight height requirement,,,

 

This photo is Wichita, Kansas I believe. The Skaer Hotel is what gives it away. I don't remember a Petroleum Building there however. There is a Petroleum Building in Tulsa, but it doesn't quite look like that.

 

I grew up in Wichita. There was an OTASCO store about 3 blocks away from me in Seneca Square shopping center. It was on the wing with Dillons Supermarket and Dockum's Drug Store.

 

Really? Dang. There is so much about it on the web, I wonder how long that hoax has been going on then? Gary

 

Here's a few vintage Winnipeg, Manitoba.
