Driving in Los Angeles, CA in 1940s – A Rare Video

You no longer have to wonder what it might looked like driving through the streets of LA back in 1940s after watching this video. Some of you (old enough) might recognize few buildings and patterns even now. Whosoever digitized this video did a good job as there’s no shakiness or blurriness and the clip looks like being captured today but without colors. The following two pictures show the tunnel that remained the same but the surroundings changed with time. I’m sure the locals of LA can identify several such spots.

You can sit back, relax and watch this video and see if it reminds you of something familiar.
