Legend has it that Bela Lugosi hijacked his own funeral procession to take one last drive past his favorite cigar shop. The actor, who was known for playing Dracula (and buried in one of the character’s costumes), used to drive down Hollywood Boulevard every day to pick up cigars. And that's exactly where the he**** carrying his coffin went when the driver lost control of the vehicle and it began moving seemingly on its own. The driver regained control of the car shortly after they had cruised past the shop.

 

Looking south on Figueroa St, the Automobile Club of Southern California building on Adams Blvd was just south of downtown LA. The ACSC’s grand Spanish Colonial Revival headquarters was built in 1922 and opened on January 27, 1923. This photo was taken that year.
