Dick Powell arrives at the old entrance to the MGM Studios, Washington Blvd, Culver City in his custom 1937 FordIn this photo we’re treated the sight of Dick Powell driving through the entrance of MGM Studios with the iconic columns. My friend at the Petersen Automotive Museum tells me that it’s Powell because he recognized his custom-made 1937 Ford. Perhaps he was going to visit his wife, June Allyson, who was a big MGM star in the 1940s. I’m intrigued with what looks like a two-light traffic signal suspended from roof. I wouldn’t have thought it was necessary – didn’t everyone have to check in with the security guard?
