"Hollywood Cafe" Automotive Series The layout of the theaterHollywood Cafe was inspired by a series of photographs I received from several car guys in the Phoenix area. They all sent pics of a building in their area featuring Marilyn Monroe on the wall. There was not a specific product or location advertised, but all the photos included a classic car. After some consideration, I decided to paint a 1965 Mustang in front of the wall in a effort to define the location and a period in time.
