Its a homemade Sports Coupe from Irwindale, CA circa 1951, pictured at the rock pile that would become the Santa Fe dam.

That's right.
Actually this was still locked for kwgibbs as I said it was locked for him to find the location of the picture, though I didn't repeat it in every post.
He was getting extremely close with Pasadena so I'm sure his next guess would have been Irwindale and for that reason I've given him a point anyway as well as you, which I think is fair.

Here's the un-modified puzzle picture:

I thank you for the point, and yes Irwindale would have been my next guess.

No problem, it wasn't very clear and you had to go back a lot of posts to see the lock!
