Cars cruising Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s - Autoweek

of course you are, and trucks too. but let's make it a little harder, rewind the clock a bit.
Boy GM did well in this town, all those 57 Chevies and lots of Cadillacs. I even saw a little VW Beetle in there I think.
so what is the most unusual car you see in here?
did I see a Ford Sunliner?

I love the stores. Organ music at your coffee shop? My how times have changed...
enjoy

I'm 63 so I'm a little young (ha) for some of these, plus I'm not much on Packards and Chryslers back then, just don't know the cars.

I'm only 67 so I'm a little young for some of those cars. I had relatives that owned Packards as I owned one myself. here's what I saw on one go around. Correct me if I may be mistaken.

56 Packard at 0.39 on the right.

55 Packard Carribean on left at 0.57

Henry 'J' at 1.47 in the middle of intersection behind the guy walking

At 2.08 the white over purple car kinda looks like a Lincoln. Could also be a Packard.Need to see the taillights to be sure.

53 Packard on right (the driver with his arm out the window) 2.27

Studebaker Commander going from right to left at 3.01

Packard at 3.16 on left in middle lane

Studebaker at 3.49 coming at you. Looks like a 52/53 Packard behind it.

Black over yellow T-Bird on the right 3.49

Mercury Montclaire on left coming at you 3.53

Looks like a Plymouth business mans coupe at 3.54 on left in middle of intersection.
