Marc,
I have driven/climbed to the top of Mount Lee,(above Hollywood)
Harley Earl is singular NOT plural!
The Lee family sponsored race cars over half a century ago.

Many of us know of Harley Earls. He was the First Vice-President of
Design at General Motors from 1927 until 1959. To his credit, he
engendered the Corvette. To his discredit, he gave us tail fins. He
was featured in a series of Buick ads early in this decade which I
loved: it is always wonderful to see a company recognizing its heritage.
Well, Harley Earls has an odd-ball connection with radio broadcasting
and also with the name of the hill on which that HOLLYWOOD sign we see
so often in movies and TV is spread.
No fair going to Wikipedia. Richard, what is the connection?
Hint: the Don Lee Mutual Broadcasting Network.
