A lone motorist overlooks a relatively barren Laurel Canyon in Hollywood, 1913

A lone motorist overlooks a relatively barren Laurel Canyon in Hollywood, 1913In this photo from 1913, a lone motorist has driven to a spectacular lookout spot that give him a panoramic vista that takes in Lauren Canyon, the Hollywood hills, and the barely-developed San Fernando Valley in the distance. I guess he wasn’t completely alone because someone was there to take the photo, which is a good thing, because if that touring car of his broke down, I doubt AAA would or could come to his rescue.

    I love the all white tires and the wooden spoke wheels on the car.

    Not sure about the bigger AAA, but the Automobile Club of SoCal might have had a truck following behind this guy and planting road signs as they went. That group was very pro-active in motorvating.
