not sure if you have seen this neat night time 40's color video of Los Angeles .. lots of cool old Fords everywhere you look!

WOW, Peter, That's cool. Thanks for sharing !!

Interesting; more Buicks than Fords in that footage, surprisingly.

Just think, all those cars are now in "car heaven".
Kind of a sad to watch.

Excellent film. Didn't see a Prius or Tesla in the bunch!!!!

 

[Darrell S]

No people camped out in tents and boxes either.

The Outlaws was on one of the marquis, it was out in 1943.

Lots of GM cars and Mopars, but not a lot of Fords.

Check out the upside down '36 front bumper bar on the '35 Ford at the 30 second mark.

Good one. Typical L.A. with lots of smog. At 1:42 you see a hiboy roadster going down the street with somebody in the rumble seat and at 3:12 there's an A roadster parked at the curb. Lots of good old Fords in this one.

Numerous stores selling Furs...popular item for the ladies then.

At the bottom, right of every YouTube video, there is a "six-tooth, GEAR-looking" icon with a hole in the middle. Click on that icon. It will give you a choice of slowing-down the video to 3/4, 1/2 or 1/4 speed. Quite handy for situations just like this. DD

The good old days

Saw a shop advertising $35.00 will paint your car! Could not see a name...perhaps Earl Schieb?
