Courtesy of Remembering Champ's Greenwood group. No, that is not Magnum, P.I.'s car. That was someone else's and sure does match to the building! The two tone colors of light and dark. Both had White but the Pitch Black bottom on the 1980s Ferrari was not the same as on the Steel sheet metal which was Light Charcoal Grey. But close!
I love how detailed the couple were on the wall. Even the belt buckle, the faces, the hair.. the 80s hairs! Yes, he has a mullet and she has that Farrah hairdo.

Both courtesy of Google Map. From top to bottom-- 2007 and 2011. I love signs that are missing a letter or broken or whatever. This says BING. The O faded. The bottom removed the broken sign on the wall. It does look a lot better without that word or any word.
