Interesting; more Buicks than Fords in that footage, surprisingly.

Just think, all those cars are now in "car heaven".
Kind of a sad to watch.

Lots of GM cars and Mopars, but not a lot of Fords.

Check out the upside down '36 front bumper bar on the '35 Ford at the 30 second mark.

Good one. Typical L.A. with lots of smog. At 1:42 you see a hiboy roadster going down the street with somebody in the rumble seat and at 3:12 there's an A roadster parked at the curb. Lots of good old Fords in this one.

At the bottom, right of every YouTube video, there is a "six-tooth, GEAR-looking" icon with a hole in the middle. Click on that icon. It will give you a choice of slowing-down the video to 3/4, 1/2 or 1/4 speed. Quite handy for situations just like this. DD

Saw a shop advertising $35.00 will paint your car! Could not see a name...perhaps Earl Schieb?
