Here in vivid color we have the Dolores drive-in at the corner of Sepulveda Blvd and Washington Blvd in 1959. The red rocket on the right actually belongs to the Oldsmobile dealer next door, but I’m sure it was a local landmark. Dolores has several locations: Sunset & La Brea, Wilshire and La Cienega, and also Sunset and Horn where the iconic Tower Records store would go in many years later. They were all long gone by the time I moved to LA, but from all accounts Dolores drive-ins were a great place to hang.
