Hot Rods DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT YEAR-PLACE THIS PIC.WAS TAKEN

WHAT YEAR AND PLACE WAS THIS PIC. TAKEN OF THE HOT RODS AND WHAT WAS THE EVENT, WAS IT EAST OR WEST COAST

 

From the looks of the other cars on the street, those are not hot rods but race cars!

 

It would be fun to see a picture from the same view of what it looks like now.

 

I bet that sounded killer

 

Not so glamerous..

 

I can’t believe there are no homeless tents on the sidewalk.. LA is over crowded with them.

 

Sad current state of affairs in these present days. Let us get back to happy. The race cars must have been some fancy units, due to the car number being painted uniformly and neat on the fourteen cars shown in the picture.

 

Is the 77 car a Willys?

 

Yes it is

 

Wow boarded up store fronts. I had no idea that it would look like that today.

 

Focus!!!

 

. Google search. You guys are slipping .

 

Big city living right there. I'll stay where I am thank you

 

The Roadsters were in the Mines Field event a race track that is now under LAX.

3 Little Pigs showing at the CAMEO.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three... Pigs is an,cost $22,000 and grossed $250,000.

 

The genesis of the Mines Field race was Elgin, IL that held road races for automobiles starting in 1910 through 1915, and then again in 1919-1920. After complaints from the public about road closures the race was abandoned until it was brought back in 1933 in conjunction with the Chicago World’s Fair. Ford sent eleven cars and they were lettered for different dealers. The field was 11 Fords, a couple of Chevrolets, a Plymouth, a Dodge and the Willys. I imagine after seeing the promotional value the event was brought to Mines Field in 1934 and run with the same automobiles.

 

Really run down. everything boarded up, HRP

 

Looks like the doors that roll up when the business is open. I don`t see any Graphiti. No broken windows. Being run down means different things to different people.

 

You said a mouth full there, buddy.

 

That is some cool history ….and thanks for the pictures

 

Look at all those '33 grill shells and we wonder why they are so damn rare.

 

Exactly. Those roll-up security/shutter doors are used all over the world, and have been for many, many decades. What is the constant deal on here with bashing anything to do with California? Geeeeezzzzzz ...

 

Well, its because California is the land of fruits and nuts ! everybody knows that, sheesh ! The devil made me do it.

 

And we just have another lattee in January, in sleeves and short pants, while you folk are snowed in. Cmon, ya needed a comeback!

 

Snowed in is putting it mildly this year, man...I've had enough of it...outa here ...some day

 

We had our 70s in January, glad to have a lot of snow for a killer late ski season now.

@Bobby Green owns one of these race cars now.
