This 1940 photo shows a 1941 Pontiac, a circa 1933 Ford, and a 1940 Ford driving east along Hollywood Blvd from Wilcox Ave past the streetcar that I wish still ran and the Warners Theater that I wish was still open. What I am glad for, however, is that our cars no longer belch smoke like that. If this isn’t an advertisement for the value of the enforced smog checks we Angelinos go through every two years, I don’t know what is.
