When I happened upon these images of a 1960s car show in Los Angeles I immediately thought of the Pan Pacific Auditorium but now I'm not so sure. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/JTUNOg.jpg No longer listed. What do you do think? #1 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/eFomTb.jpg It looks like KRLA is preparing to broadcast a show. mmmm (licks lips) a snack bar. This is the image that made me question my Pan-Pacific Auditorium theory. (note the letters 'ries' on the large building) #2 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/NQi9ba.jpg Like the recent show room negatives I recently posted some of the images focus on Ramblers. #3 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/4JdKKX.jpg Interesting models in this show. This attractive young lady looks rather beatnik-esque. More Ramblers. #4 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/jItoHG.jpg note the amusement ride on the far right side. - - - - > One more glimpse inside. #5 https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/Y8FWOE.jpg Most definitely not a Rambler. Does anyone recognize the logo with the marlin over a target? It seems vaguely familiar but then again, maybe not. Not to sound sexist but the swimsuit girl is really cute. [Update:...I just noticed this car also appears in the top photol. . |

It is indeed a Rambler--a hot mess called the Marlin--hence the logo. Produced '65-'67 model years I think. (Some of these Ramblers look customized to some degree for the car show.) What's with the sauna box? |
:previous:
Friendly Rambler, whose wares are on display, was at 410 N Long Beach Boulevard in Compton. They used to offer customized cars "to your individual taste at no extra cost". The cars were known as Jim Fisk Specials after Friendly Rambler's owner. A little more info in The Metropolitan Story. |

The picture is from the 4th Teenage Fair at the Hollywood Palladium which ran for a week from April 9th 1965. The band on stage are The Challengers. They were the house band for the Fair. Some other pictures from their stint at the Palladium that year. https://i.imgur.com/Szym1h6.jpg voxac100.org.uk https://i.imgur.com/kyTnFRR.jpg Facebook - Randy Nauert You can actually go right back and listen to what they sounded like at the Teenage Fair in 1965. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY0WGraraoY :dancing: |

I found this...the caption reads in part "Photograph caption dated April 3, 1964...John Burroughs High School students compete at the Teen-Age Fair Cook-Off... tent-like pavilion.... The 1964 Teen-Age Fair was held at the Hollywood Palladium." An ad for The Broadway that ran in the LAT on March 27, 1964, referred to the '64 event as the third annual fair.... The canopies appear to be the same--the car show pics include a banner advertising '65 Ramblers, so (obvs) the car show was sometime during that model year. https://i.postimg.cc/JnY20RZD/palladium-bmp.jpgLAPL |

Wow what a great trove of photos those are, Beaudry!
I picked one at random: https://i.imgur.com/qes0wo6.jpg (from Beaudry's link above) What are the odds of this, 65+ years later? https://i.imgur.com/s0wmGrw.jpg GSV |

Some interesting shots, and, oh, the smog! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...366162ca_h.jpg |
Great find, Prudent.
My favorite, complete with Country Squire--see also HossC's post 19585 of 2014 https://i.postimg.cc/T1BFJzNQ/pigeonholeimage.jpg From the LAT--May 24, 1953 https://i.postimg.cc/x1jswTrh/pigeonlat1-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/v8VHnbNJ/pigeon2-bmp.jpg LAT--Nov 6, 1953 https://i.postimg.cc/3xnGdmSr/pigeon3-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/XNdQX1wV/pigeon4-bmp.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/wMRvTstv/pigeon5-UTTTT-bmp.jpg Apparently demolished 1971 |
I like this one:
The hamburger stand with police car and red Ford (?) truck nearby...can't make out what the sign atop the place says. The building behind is The Monterey and to the left, I believe a hardware store. Then the winding road into the hills. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oBAfnwm8F...uf2qn26400.jpg |

trove
A bunch of those pictures were taken on or near Huntington Drive, e.g. the Cozy Corner which was at 3501 Monterey. Earl's Bark 'n' Bite was at 4592 Huntington Drive N.
Here's one I really like, back in DTLA. It's looking east on Winston from Los Angeles St. A hotel over a sheet metal factory. Zoning only in LA. https://i.imgur.com/r160zq4.jpg And the ominous kitteh photograph: https://i.imgur.com/i56NqEp.jpg was also at the Huntington Drive N/S area. The CDs have a Don Ballarini real estate business at 4834 Huntington Drive S. |

https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...tereyCafe1.jpg serendipitism.blogspot.com And this one shows the sign for the Monterey Cafe as well as the lumber yard. The sign is behind the pole on the right in the picture above. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...tereyCafe2.jpg serendipitism.blogspot.com There are signs for 'Huntington Dr N' in several images (and I see that Lorendoc has given the addresses of two). This aerial from 1956 ties together the locations of the views above as well as a couple of the others. The street that passes Cozy Corner and Atlas Tires is Monterey Road, and the winding road is Edloft Avenue. https://i809.photobucket.com/albums/...tereyCafe3.jpg mil.library.ucsb.edu |
more trove
ScottyB's Edward Hopper photo:
https://i.imgur.com/3ARTNVp.jpg Beaudry's link above amazingly still has the same font on the building's awning on S. Spring: https://i.imgur.com/Cm4lljB.jpg GSV Once a parking lot, pretty much always a parking lot in DTLA. |
