Continuing Beverly Hills Hilton Week, let's start the photographs section with long shot overviews. Here we see some of the extensive parking that they bragged about so. This first copy of that card was sent in 1958 to Elizabeth NJ's Mr. & Mrs. Ralph Green & Family (but with the cool type of handwritten ampersand) by Frank, who hadn't stayed there, as you can see (along with another copy of the same card, sent in 1956, from Bertha Collins, who may or may not have, but kinda seems not likely to've, and not just cuz the person she was writing to back in PA is just on rural route #1, I dunno what do you think) here:
