Extra points if it was taken with Kodachrome, which I\u2019m fairly sure this was. We\u2019re looking east through the intersection of Sunset Blvd and Vine St, Hollywood. I love how the sign for Music City on the northwest corner is advertising Magnavox television sets. Across the street on the northeast corner are the NBC studios. By the time this photo was taken, they had converted to TV. Channel 4 first went on the air as KNBH on January 16, 1949. That two-toned car on the right is a 1951 Chevrolet convertible, so let\u2019s call this circa early 1950s.<\/p>\n<p>This is roughly how that view looked in February 2021.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"30687\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/martinturnbull.com\/2024\/11\/08\/color-photo-looking-east-through-the-intersection-of-sunset-blvd-and-vine-st-hollywood-circa-early-1950s-2\/february-2021-15\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?fit=999%2C835&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"999,835\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"February 2021\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?fit=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?fit=640%2C535&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30687\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?resize=640%2C535&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?w=999&amp;ssl=1 999w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?resize=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/martinturnbull.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/February-2021.png?resize=768%2C642&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do love coming across an image in vibrant color, especially if it depicts Hollywood in its heyday.
