I was watching a show called "About San Diego" tonight on our local PBS station. The host was sharing the history about the beach communities back in the early days and this still photo comes up on the screen. I couldn't help but post it. All three appear to be '46s.

I think this may have been the inspiration for Baywatch.

Wonder where those are now and how miserable must it have been to wear those uniforms and drive on the beach?

Mine is a '46, so I have to stick with that thought. Nobody will ever know for sure.
