Curious picture this.....
Based on the vehicles visible, appears to have been taken in the early 60's, shortly after the theme building was completed (I see a '61 Buick Special wagon, but nothing newer).

The way L.A. International is laid out when this pic was taken, 2 parallel runways running east and west, immediately south of the terminal complex. The theme building sat in the middle of the terminal complex. The jet in the pic is going in an approximate northerly direction, perpendicular to the runway orientation. The runways would be about 1/2 a mile behind the jet. So either this was a big 'wave off' of a landing, a pure 'photo shoot' for the airport (which would have been possible..), or the jet was added to the photo in editing. I'm guessing the later......

Note: There are now 2 additonal parallel runways on the north side of the terminal, also running east and west, about under where the jet is. The north runways wern't there in the early 60's. The area was a partially a housing development.

 

Anyone know any more about the Mustang Wagon on the magazine cover?

That looks interesting, although it looks like the rear window is stationary.

 

We traded our 1965 Mustang fastback on a 1972 Gran Torino wagon. If that Mustang wagon had been out we may have bought one of those instead.
A production Mustang wagon would have needed the roofline moved back and a window that lowered. But this looks nice.

 

Dave, I can't find it but we did have a seperate thread about it.

Cat, I totally agree about the roof line going back further, it looks OK but having a trunk hump just does'nt do it for me. As for the tail gate, I can't see that body style having a working up and down window, opening gate and opening glass window like the Fox wagons did, now that would be workable
