Hollywood Movie Set?

As some of you know, my Grandpa died last August. Since that time, my Grandma has been going through his things, sorting out what needs to be trashed, given away, shredded, etc. It's been a HUGE undertaking for her. I've tried to help and have told her that I would LOVE to help her, but she just wouldn't hear of it.

While she was clearing out decades worth of stuff (they were married 70 years), she came across an old newspaper article. This article talked about my Grandpa and how he won a 1953 Buick Hardtop from Hepler's Gas Station. The article had a picture with them and their youngest son. She gave that article to my uncle and he scanned it in to his computer and sent it to my dad, who then forwarded it on to me.

It is so neat to see this picture as there are very, very, very few pictures of my Grandpa in his younger years, as well as my Grandma. My uncle thought it looked like a Hollywood movie set from that time period. I happen to agree. My Grandpa was 39 and my Grandpa was 37 in that picture.
