Help requested on identifying some pictures of Ed Bishop

A friend of mine bought some slides at a swap meet and is wondering if
anyone can help identify the time and setting for them. There are
seven of them in total, all showing Ed Bishop in his Ed Straker wig
and jacket, holding up a Dinky Interceptor and Mobile. The slides are
dated April 1973. I've put them online at:

It looks like they were shot in a house or an office. Any leads as to
identification would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bill

She either took those photos, or was in the room when they were
taken. This would be in the Los Angeles area, around 1972/73.

The "official" photo was this one:

Bill, are you the "Bill Cotter" of New York World's Fair fame?!

Why, does he owe you money? <g>

Yes, that's me.
Small world, huh? No pun intended.

Well, as I'm reading _your email_ on the Ed Bishop slides... I'm
_simultaneously_ opening a box from Amazon containing _your book_ "The
1964-1965 New York World's Fair (Images of America"... what's the
statistical chance of THAT happening?!

/103-6534830-8822229?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

I'm an old friend of David Oats and the late Peter Warner... also, I'm a
past Director of The Flushing-Meadows Corona Park Development Corporation...
very involved in the late 80's and early 90's in '39-40/'64-65 Fair
preservation/promotion.

We should talk directly... please send me your direct contact info to
[hidden email] or call me if you prefer 210-679-5159.

It certainly is a "Small World"!! 8-)
