The car making "plant" was in Burbank which was certainly in LA County. I would say that the DALE was smokin and steamin the Los Angeles vibe all the way. Here's another LA associated whoop-dee-doo......Disney Studio, 500 S Buena Vista St, Burbank, CA 91521. |

Rather than a smokestack/top hat I think this thing is supposed to represent a lighthouse....and the promotion was for the Canadian group of that name, who moved over to the Polydor label and released an album in '73....from Wiki.... "Lighthouse is a Canadian rock band formed in 1968 in Toronto, Ontario, whose repertoire included elements of rock music, jazz, classical music, and swing and featured horns, string instruments, and vibraphone. They won Juno Awards for Best Canadian Group of the Year in 1972, 1973,[2] and 1974." The bands biggest U.S. hit was 1971's "One Fine Morning", which peaked at Billboard #24.... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...370&fit=bounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLdq...nel=LarryHinze |

Here's another Tower Records rooftop promotion, also from 1973, courtesy of Ed Ruscha....puzzling at first but after zoom in I saw the, ah, light.... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds It's a promo for the Electric Light Orchestra..... https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds |

:previous: Good eye, riichkay. :) Here's another. Can anyone figure out the promotional-thingy in this slide dated 1973 (without looking up the answer) ..Don't cheat! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/v3bDx1.jpg from Alison Martino's slide collection. Here's a closer look. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/qMmWyC.jpg If you ask me it's a most unlikely sight. Good luck minions! :whip: . |
My first thought was "Fiddler on the Roof." :)
(But the movie was out in 1971.) |
:previous:
And you would be CORRECT, Martin Pal....Good job! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/UmMLxf.jpg vintagelosangeles Allison says the Fiddler on the Roof Soundtrack was on the charts for 90 weeks! .If that's the case, the fiddler dude might have been up on the roof for quite some time. That might explain the discrepancy between 1971 and 1973. . |

Does 90 weeks make it a tradition? |

Here's an interesting original (not a reprint) photograph currently on eBay "19TEENS LOS ANGELES EXAMINER NEWSPAPER OFFICE NEWSBOY HEADLINES WWI POSTER" https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/i7JhRt.jpg eBay Of course this could be in anywhere in Los Angeles County. update: I just noticed this. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/YNzXw7.jpg detail Unless I'm mistaken, "City Property" is painted on the window. & there's another word below. . .something OGRAPHER (it doesn't appear to be "photographer") It might be Stenographer but why would a place like this need a stenographer? :shrug: That day's headline. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...922/izjyXf.jpg detail . |

Re: "Although it doesn't have much of a Los Angeles connection"
The Dale was designed, built, and sold in Los Angeles. One of the three remaining cars is in the Petersen Automotive Museum. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3ef5da56_b.jpg The research and development offices were on Deering Avenue in Canoga Park. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/a...-revealed.html The Twentieth Century Motors showroom was at 16055 Ventura Blvd., Encino https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4d4bd4e5_b.jpg Both via Petersen Automotive Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slMfva3Auqo Quote:

This book...Matt Stone (Author), Preston Lerner (Author) This book reveals one of automotive's greatest mysteries....what was the bio sex of the DALE's producer? |

Several cars have been inaugurated in Los Angeles over the years but sadly all of them went the way of the Dodo bird. |
That's Tesla-level fit & finish.

rare....rare....rare.
We visited the famous Balloon Route Trolley in the earlier days of nla.but we haven't seen this. "Los Angeles Hermosa 1906 Panoramic Excursion Train Trolley Photo" (Silver Gelatin On Cellulose Nitrate Negative) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq90/923/swC6sW.jpg eBay Asking Price:...US $1,020.00 BUT WAIT! There's a mystery component as well. The seller included details of the photo and neg. but there's one that doesn't appear anywhere in the panorama. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/3Wb6GQ.jpg Link Here it is. (still in negative form) https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/eYHCP0.jpg With this we might be able to figure out where in Hermosa Beach the photograph was taken. update: If the neg. is flipped, it does fit onto the left end of the panorama. The seller must have cropped it out. . |
