That Studebaker in front and every other car in the line-up still has a divided windshield. I forgot how long that lasted.

Incredible that some municipal employees were still working by gaslight at the old International Bank Building DTLA when the above photo was taken. One could really time travel back then. The divide between pre- and post-war LA was sharp as a knife.
