[QUOTE=ethereal_reality;9058333]A rehash but an interesting rehash.

Yes, Hoss, I meant Hillhurst....I appreciate the correction.

As most of you remember from past posts - the Los Feliz Brown Derby was originally the second location of Willard's Fried Chicken Inn.

"The location on Los Feliz Boulevard at Hillhurst Avenue above Hollywood near the Greek Theater started off life in 1929 as Willard’s Chicken Inn, home of the “Far-Famed Chicken.” The dome was designed to have water piped up to the top where it would run down the exterior like a fountain. The design also served as an early form of air conditioning. Willard’s closed down in 1940 and the restaurant was renovated to become a Brown Derby. Added on to the original restaurant were a Car Cafe, and on the Hillhurst side, a Brown Derby Liquor Store."....deadletterfile

Looking East (I think)



Why don't they make cars like that anymore? I'd pay for one like that with a modern engine etc., but with that '20s look. I think a lot of people would. It is the '20s again. You can go back again. I want to dance the Charleston with some cute flappers. I want to wear a raccoon coat. I want to see Babe hit a moonshot. Well, at least I want the car and maybe a modern flapper. Swell.
