Description
Mrs. America poses with a 1950s-era automobile at 2903 East Orange Grove Boulevard. According to the 1955 Pasadena City Directory, the owners of that residence were Robert E. and Zoe Sahm. We believe the woman in the photo may be the 1949 Mrs. America winner, Frances L. Cloyd, of San Diego. The image was taken on March 30, 1955, for Karl Willard Motors Inc., which was located at 316 West Colorado Boulevard.
