No attempts to make the place look nice, either. Did the photographer rent cars from a local junkyard?

Good old Valley River Center. In that picture it looks just like it did in the 80's. We used to go there specifically for "dough cones," from the cookie store by Meier & Frank. They consisted of a scoop of chocolate-chip cookie dough atop a cone.
Don't be so hard on the photographer of the pink TraveLodge. Those were new cars and trucks in 1959 or so. The picture was shot in black and white and then the colors assigned. After doing the pink building, the colorist assigned dull colors to the autos. They weren't really that color. They might have been shiny new red or blue cars and trucks!
Interesting tidbt about Doug's info which would explain a lot.
I just thought pink must have been the "in" color for the motels.
I think they filmed a movie there back in the early 80s? Jane Curtain,
Susan Saint James?
