Pagodas in the Movies

I just found this website which lists cars in movies and sorted it for W113's.

Being a fan of the former Rockford Files I noticed the Pagoda was used in one of their shows and saw this image posted.  How in hell does anyone get in or out of this car?  I guess parking is at a premium in LA. Maybe push it out of the spot until you can open a door?

Perhaps it is the reason why there are so many cabrios in L.A.? You jump from the top...

To me, it looks like the photo is taken somewhere in Switzerland

Yes it does.  The French signs would add to that conclusion (in addition to the Swiss cross).  Wouldn't see that in LA, except maybe a French restaurant.

The car parked to the left of the Pagoda is a Peugeot 504. I doubt that there would be many of them in LA.

There are many more, look at the license plates of the cars.  Most of them from America are showing California plates.
