Location on Google Maps From back to front: 1. The Hollywood Sign. 2. The Whitley House (building on middle-left that says “hotel” on it) (on Google Maps). 3. 101 Freeway (the grass has been replaced by concrete). 4. Tower of the Wilcox Apartments (on Google Maps). 5. Roof of the Wilcox Apartments (the Spanish roof tiles have been removed). The RICHFIELD gas station in the photo is now a Chevron gas station (on Google Maps). The photo was probably taken from the rooftop of the Lido Apartments (on Google Maps). |

Those were earlier renderings. There was some talk of shortening the smaller one and simplifying the exteriors a bit, but we have yet to see new plans or renderings. |

How I would love to see enlargement of the line of five homes along Court street facing the empty area. Only aerial this is that has ever had these ... Sigh Rick Mechtly |
:previous:
Me too, rick m, but that's as big as the seller posted them. The full 7.1" x 9" photo is still available here for $22.90 + postage from Reykjavik. The seller posted the preview upside down, so maybe its rarity will go unnoticed. |

Don't know what happened there. When I went to Photobucket, I could only view the scaled version and not the full-sized one that I posted. I've now deleted the original and re-uploaded the image, and it's showing again in both posts. To save you going back, here's a reminder: (I tried uploading an enlargement, but the full-sized image won't show - it looks like Photobucket is having troubles again!) http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...2.jpg~original www.ebay.com Please PM me if any other images go missing. |
What car is being advertised?

What 43 mpg car is being advertised for $1,395? I don't believe many Japanese cars were being sold in the US in 1960. Could it be something like an NSU or a BMW Isetta? _____ |
:previous:
RENAULT is at the top of the sign-- apparently the superlemon Dauphine got 43 mpg... https://s22.postimg.cc/l8wfa5q9t/renault1.bmp.jpg LAT May 20, 1959 & other dates The John Green Corporation was the LA distributor--notice what is probably that name at the bottom of the sign.... |

Thanks, GW! Renault is there alright. I looked at that photo many times and failed to see it. It sort of blends into the background. I need new glasses. ___ |

Indicated by Scott_Charles in his fine graphic as the present day The Whitley House. Built in 1925 at 1963 N Cahuenga Blvd and still named the Padre Hotel in the 1960's slide. It was then the El Padre Apartments before the change to The Whitley House.

"In mid-distance there appears to be an extremely long one or two story building. -this has thrown me for a loop." e_r
"It is the 101 Freeway." (the grass has been replaced by concrete). scott charles I stand corrected. :duh ___________________________________________ Your annotated graphic was really helpful (and fun) Scott Charles ..and thanks for the vintage pics of the Padre Hotel Noir Noir. I hadn't noticed that the globes were removed from the two cartouche-like sconces when Sherwin-Williams put up their oversized sign on the end of the building. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/dNbVqJ.jpg DETAIL The building must have looked beautiful at night. (the globes did light up, right?) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...923/BLxqJf.jpg digitallibrary.usc.edu Now all the globes have been removed. :( (and they've no doubt been missing for decades) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/EZQU1O.png :hmmm: hmmm...wouldn't the wiring still be in place within the walls? the current hotel, or the owner of the building, should utilize them. __ |
