From the Neat Stuff Blog’s collection of Los Angeles-centric postcards come these two night scenes from the 1950s that should put to the test all those claims of being able to identify a car from that era just by its headlights. Above, we see the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue, looking east along Hollywood; below, we see the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street, looking north up Vine. Yes, if you follow both views until they intersect, you’ll end up at Hollywood and Vine. What do you see here?
