A Drive Down Wilshire Blvd.

...and you should be able to find about 50 desirable cars you missed in the previous viewings each time you see it!
Was that a '32 sedan delivery parked over at the side? And howabout that maniac in the Rolls Royce? "Jeeves! My Ice cream is Melting! Step onit!!"
 
amazing less than 10 years after the model t & i did not see one in the film. you would think after ford made millons of them. in a nice climet like ca there would be a lot still runing around.
 
Thanks Ryan, I never saw it before. Amazing. The people going about their business driving those cars & were sitting here drooling over them.
 
Thanks for bringing it back around, I missed it the other times it's been posted.

Other than the nice cars, I find it interesting that there are no lines marking the traffic lanes and there are still abundant open spaces there.
 
Model A's? There are a LOT. You aren't noticing them because the focal point is a fairly small clump of cars traveling in the same direction as the camera car.
Look at the cars going the other way, then look at the curb on the left for parked examples, including a nice roadster.
 
at 2.10 theres a 32 3 window parked behind a 32 tudor sedan.
wow, grate film, wish there was sound..
 
Yes, Bruce, I saw it too.

Repost it may be, but I missed it the first time so thanks for bring it up again.

Mart.
 
Who's got the keys to the Go-Back Time Machine?

You guys can have the Fords - I want to check out a few of those vacant corner lots on Wilshire!

A great piece of L. A. and auto history. Very enjoyable video, Ryan, thanks.
 
The real problem in this clip is the lack of parking spots, the abundance of parking meters and the overly aggressive meter maids handing out summons. Oh,, did anyone notice the red light camera too?
 
I noticed too no model t's. probably in the poor section of town there would be plenty still in 1935. The area looked pretty well off.
