There is a Moneta Nursery and Moneta Motel still on Vermont around 135th st and Vermont did have a Red Car line. Working against this theory is the fact that Vermont is west of Figueroa but was Figueroa previously the Harbor boulevard mentioned here? Fig does run right next to the Harbor Freeway and runs straight into L.A. Harbor. |

Athena Dress Shop, Beverly Hills, 1940's
The latest NASS offering at youtube, "Southern California 1940's," (posted Dec. 10) shows the fashionable Athena Dress shop in Beverly Hills, and a half-block up the street is a circular drive-in, perhaps a McDonnell's, Herbert's or Simon's. Someone here with access to a 1940's Beverly Hills directory could look up Athena so as to identify the street and location - and by association, the drive-in.

Here's the video. The Library of Congress has a 1945 phone directory which lists Athena Custom Clothes at 9747 & 9757 Wilshire Boulevard. Historic Aerials views from the late-40s show a circular drive-in to the east, just across N Linden Drive, but so far I haven't been able to identify it. From the comments, here are a few time-frame and location suggestions:

Rexall in a studio
The original prior-to-colorization footage of the drug store in the above stock footage has a clapper boy which denoted sound recording on a soundstage. They didn't need to sink up sound for stock footage so I think it's a studio reproduction. In addition, the people in the drug store are straight out of central casting.

Morgans are still in production. The most recent, the Plus Six, is still built around an ash frame and looks pretty similar to the one in the picture above, but now comes on a new glued aluminum platform and has a BMW in-line six-cylinder engine. Prices start at just over $100k. |
I had a Plus 4 Morgan in the 70s and 80s. Great car--loved it to death. Visited the Morgan factory on a trip to England. Very Nineteenth-century. Watched a guy making a hubcap for the old steel wheels. Took a two by two foot piece of sheet steel. Put it over a wooden form with the hubcab shape dished into it, and a metal hammer. Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap. Tap tap tap.
