#497. Two reported solvers: @ayilar, @MrMoparCHP.
1. New York, NY, USA
2. The United Nations Secretariat Building, the "tall box" (39 stories).
3. This car was posed on the UN complex on the west side.
The car is an "Ambassador", the ad text talks about "diplomacy", buncha country flags (if the big, rectangular building itself wasn't enough), international attire of the guys behind the car, etc.
The various mapping tools can't go where the car is posed,
@ayilar submitted this iconic pic right below from 1st Avenue @44th street, and approximates where the car would have been THO in the illustration it was closer to the flag poles (other side of the "hedges", on Keegan Rd which is not open to the public now)
complex site aerial, the blue lines (in Google) show where you can put "PegMan" down. I put a red circle approxiately where the Ambassador was posed - obviously no blue lines there,
Though one may be able to "fly" in there, "snip" a pic, then enlarge it (one can do that with steady hands and Google Earth).
common views (from west and east) of one of the most photgraphed set of buildings in the world. It kinda like the Statue of Liberty, or the Eiffel Tower, in that regard: you know it on sight and you know exactly were it is ... with no words needed.
West Side looking east
East River Side looking west.
