Everyone who lives in West Los Angeles knows the shoe car. I’m
not sure why there’s a handicapped tag on the rearview mirror, but here it is, parked as usual on Santa Monica Boulevard. Bob Patterson, of the Just Above Sunset
staff, has spoken to the folks who conceived and produced this local landmark and will be writing about this beauty in the
future. We have plans for a feature and selling some shots to Associated Press,
and then there’s television… Maybe. The second shot is of your editor on the left and Bob on the right – and we’re documenting the establishment that gave us the shoe car.
Seen
down on Pico We
don’t get snow and slush and salt on the roads out here. We have earthquakes. Be that as it may, old cars last a long time out here.
This
old Ford? This too is not a restoration.
Original paint. Original interior.
Original top. But it hasn’t held up as well. It looks like a 1932 – and that would make it seventy-two years old, and that’s a whole lot
of years between the assembly line and this shot.

From last week's home page...
Gee, as a "logo" photograph do you think this is too pretentious?
In the middle of the Sunset Strip they do paint odd things on the sides of the buildings.
