Two hip chicks pose in front of a 1955 Chevy in a parking lot south of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Hollywood, 1956

Two hip chicks pose in front of a 1955 Chevy in a parking lot south of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Hollywood, 1956I don’t know who these cool chicks were, or whose 1955 Chevy 210 sedan this was, but I love the hip mid-50s vibe of this colorful photo. In the top right corner we can see the roof of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, which places them in a parking lot south of Hollywood Blvd. A 25-story office tower now occupies that line of white-painted stores behind them. And the spot where the women are standing is now a 5-story parking structure. But to the left of the photo is the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, which is still very much around and a central part of the Hollywood Blvd social scene.

This is a satellite photo of the area from 2021. That square gray building at the bottom of the photo is where our two hip chicks were standing.

    Funny…each one appears to have an electric line coming from poles in the hills and connected to the backs of their heads! Gonna wonder if Grauman’s was trying out some “B” movie sci-fi thrillers in an off week. “Invasion of the Hep Kats from Planet Chevy”?
