It’s hard to imagine, but back in the 1940s, the popular Dolores drive-in restaurant at 8801 Sunset Boulevard sat where Tower Records would later build “the world’s largest music store” in the 1970s. I love the old woody stationwagon parked out front!
Isn’t this the location they used for the restaurant in “Mildred Pierce”?

I don’t think so, but they sure could have used it as inspiration!
The Woody out front of the restaurant is actually a Town and Country convertible – probably 1948-ish.
