This has a tremendous appeal to me, for some reason. It comes down to a feeling that "if only these walls could speak" we would know more about our heritage.
Today's "Where in..." takes us to Long Beach, Calif., to a shop that was selling a Royal Enfield military motorcycle — in 1947!
Now it's a hole-in-the wall muffler shop. Parked in front is a rare old car that Jorge wonders about. Is that a 1958 Chevrolet Impala, he asks?
No, it isn't, not if we're talking about the same car. I'm old enough to remember riding in a '58 Impala, and it looked nothing like this.

I'd say it's a 1959 Mercury Parklane, like the image below, from the Internet.

Hi. The dark Mercury above is a 1959 Monterey 2 door hardtop.
