What is the history of that photo? I heard that Marilyn Monroe made one TV commercial, and it was for Union Oil Royal Triton motor oil. That photo of Marilyn next to the Pontiac would not make it past the censors of the early 1950’s. I bet it was not published.

Might be her own car posed on a studio lot. Lots of repros of the photo in collector car circles.

It appears to have been taken on a movie back-lot. Note that even the chimney on the furthermost building is only complete on one side, like the rest of the building.
