Apparently there used to be an era in our country when women were used as props to attract customers. Now that those times are long gone, enjoy these photos dedicated to the Muller Bros., an Oldsmobile-Firestone Tire-Car Wash-Cafe-Body Shop-Home Appliance-Auto Supply Dealer located at Sunset and Ivar in L.A., from back in 1951. Miss Polish Job was one of many beauty queens Muller Bros boasted to celebrate their 3,000,000th car wash.

I came across !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that chronicles the event.

My favorite, among several others, include Miss Lube Rack, and Miss Auto Accessory.

It's like an Italian Job, but with ponies.

One of the street crimes in L.A. Noire (set in '47-'48) takes place at Sunset and Ivar.

I don't know why I remember that.
