Dad enlisted in the US Marine Corp on August 3rd, 1943 and received an Honorable Discharge on Jan. 20, 1946. 
So, my guess this picture was possibly early 1946, as Mom did not appear pregnant with her 2nd child, due in Jan. 1947.
I think it is on Westmont Drive in Alhambra.  The exact address I do not have.  [Given the rolling hills of the neighborhood, my guess is that the section of Westmont Drive where Mom and Dad lived was in the 1700 block but that's just a guess.]
The car nearest them in the picture appears to be the 1941 Willys that Mom (according to Dad) purchased from her earnings from Sears and Roebuck as a comptometer operator.
