My old Street Scene
These are old pics I found in my file cabinet. My Grandfather was in the Los Angeles PD, City of Vernon back in the 50's and 60's. Some cool old car shots. Also City of Vernon was the first city in California to have Motorcycle Cops carry shotguns....lol

Re: My old Street Scene
Those are some neat shots. Keep em coming. Love the shotgun on the bike ala rifle on the horse.

Re: My old Street Scene
Check out the 348 Tri-Power! What a shame about the '32 Roadster! Hopefully it got fixed!

Check out the 348 Tri-Power! [/ QUOTE ] I'm guessing that 348 tri-power is in the wrecked 58 Impala. In that engine shot, you can see it has chrome valve covers and a chrome blower motor housing. You can also see the chrome blower motor housing in the front shot of the wrecked 58 with the hood up. Looks like the 58 has some mild custom touches in the interior too.

Re: My old Street Scene
Generally speaking, Southern California can be labeled "Land of Horrendous Wrecks." Within the last few hours the 5 freeway was shut down both in Burbank and in San Clemente for fatal accident investigations (I got stuck in San Clemente, new SUV was not recognizeable). People just drive very fast around here (I'm not passing judgement, I do it too) but also do so in a seemingly organized manner. My rule of thumb on freeway driving, which I have been doing since 16, "if there is room for a car to squeeze between you and the vehicle in front of you, one will." Makes for dangerous stuff at 85 MPH. People go like crazy through intersections, too.
