He's Just a Really Good Friend

Still being mesmerized by old issues of LIFE over at Google Books. This odd picture used in a 1957 ad was sort of perplexing. The man in the yellow car has apparently backed his vehicle to the water's edge and is dressed in a suit. He's either a child molester cruising the beach, or he's about to give the cabana boy a lesson 'bout messin'.


Since child molestation is not funny at all, I've captioned with the latter possibility. (Click image to read. Duh.)
