    Anybody spot 3 x 'odd' in the vid ?? ;)

    I assume you mean odd cars in the USA. I spotted six: Mercedes Benz Heckflosse at 9 sec, MGA at 24 sec, Ford Anglia at 27 sec, Jaguar saloon at 30 sec, Borgward Isabella Coupe at 39 sec, BMC ADO16 at 53 sec.

    I must get out more...

    I'm always looking at those types of pics / vids being a yank tank fan and often wonder at seeing typical European type cars from the day.

    Tell you one thing though from looking at this and many other vids, LA in the 50s & 60s looked so full of promise but it's turned in to a dirty kip. Only place I've been to in the states that I immediately wanted to get the hell out of.

    First time I went there I hired a Camaro and went up to Mulholland Dr. etc, all the places I'd read about in Hot Rod mag :cool:

    In later years I like cruising Sunset, Melrose etc Norm's diner , Pinks Weiners, The Cat&Fiddle http://www.thecatandfiddle.com/

    LA is still LA :cool:
