Topanga Beach Auto Court at the mouth of Topanga Canyon and Pacific Coast Highway, 1939This is what the corner of Topanga Canyon Blvd and Pacific Coast Highway (or the Roosevelt Highway as it was still called back then) looked like in 1939. It probably took you most of the day to get there from downtown L.A. or Hollywood so the Topanga Beach Auto Court probably came in mighty handy. Mind you, if I was motoring around Los Angeles in this might automobile, I probably wouldn’t have minded much. I don’t know what like of car it is, but it looks perfect for a sunny Sunday Angelino drive.

    It’s a Duesy! It’s a Duesenberg Model SJ (supercharged), probably the ultimate American made automobile of the time.
