Hope all you macho guys are in touch with your feminine side...this was the caption that came with the picture.

That's Downtown LA Corner of Broadway and 7th. Broadway looking North into the Burbank mountains. Clifton's to the right, Bullock to the Left corner, and the RKO antenna still stands today at Broadway and 6th. |

Ha! yeah they're nice pictures Udo. Someone posted another period showroom picture with a black Ghia like the second one above. I'll see if I can find it.
Edit: Here it is...can't remember where I got it...you probably sent it to me.
