[Update: This is the filming of “Car Wash” at 6th Street and Rampart Boulevard in a photo by Marilyn K. Yee dated March 31, 1976.]
[And a tip for location sleuths: “Baretta” frequently filmed at 5th and Wall Streets.]
I can’t write anything today without giving it away so my lips are sealed…..

[Update: Film permit officer Bill Johnson and LAPD Officer George Mansfield. Notice that Mansfield’s uniform has a white patch and a wheel and arrow, signifying the Traffic Division. Only traffic personnel wear these emblems.]
Here’s a mystery LAPD officer …
… mystery light with diffuser….
… and a mystery car!

Looks like this might be from the movie 'Car Wash'. Looks Ivan Dixon in the background of the bottom picture.

Keeping with the Lorraine Gary theme, I'm guessing "Car Wash".

I'd say it's production still from CAR WASH (1976) starring Richard Pryor and directed by Michael Schultz.
