Wagons in vintage Street scenes

From Google Earth, here's the original 'Emergency' Fire Station, belonging to the Los Angeles County Fire Department - on 223rd St. in Carson, Ca.

 

Wonder what year "guess who's" pic was taken?

 

1927 Canadian Pontiacs....

 

I laughed when I saw this one on here. Never excpected to see it in this thread. Go ahead and guess. One thing is for sure, I don't have that much hair anymore.

PS I dig the color of the 64 Dodge wagon in this pic:

 

Although smog had been an ever increasing problem in Los Angeles since before World War Two, and a concerted effort to deal with the issue didn’t begin until 1947 when the first air pollution control board in the nation, the Los Angeles Air Pollution Control District, was formed. It would be 13 more years before UCLA researchers Richard D. Hopa, and Hiroshi Kimura (L to R, above) unveiled their new device developed to control tailpipe emissions of oxides of nitrogen. Today, we know it as the common exhaust gas recirculation valve, but on May 23, 1960, when this photo was published, it was cutting edge stuff.
It doesn’t look anything like the more compact parts that were eventually installed on most engines in the early 1970′s, but the basic function was established. In a contemporary article in the Los Angeles Times, Louis J. Fuller, the enforcement director of the Air Pollution Control District, explained, “The device consists of a narrow tube to carry the exhaust gas forward from the tailpipe to the carburetor. At the intake manifold a valve is installed to meter the flow of exhaust gases so that these can mix with the regular air-fuel mixture.” Photo courtesy of the Los Angeles Times Archive at UCLA.

 

Pic from '77 maybe, Jeramiah?

 

Krash, that makes me grin. No. Not even close. Don't feel bad though, the quality of the picture doesn't seem to be that great, it does kind of have that 70's feel to it. I'm not as old as I look. Remember, I have two little kids, a 5 year old and a 1 year old.
