In the 1950s, the threat of nuclear attack was very real. Or at least that was the perception. The ol’ “duck and cover” advice really wasn’t going to help anybody survive the apocalypse, was it? A much more sensible solution was to build a bomb shelter. And how do you really get prospective customers interested? You get a pretty girl to sit on top of it and sexy up the whole concept! This model shelter was at 10333 Santa Monica Blvd, which is virtually opposite what is now the upscale Century City shopping mall. I do wonder, though, how many of these things they sold.
