Mille Miglia

 

Haynes Apperson

First Winiton, 1896

 

1899 Winton

 

Cahuenga Pass, Hollywood Freeway between Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley with Red Car Line going down the center median. ca. 1947. As the automobile grew in popularity, the Red Cars slowly were dismantled. This line was eliminated in the early 1950s. Ironically, the metropolitan transit authorities are now spending millions of dollars to build a subway that will take people in these same directions.

Erie and Sturgis Gasoline Carriage. Created by engineer J. Philip Erie and machine shop owner S.D. Sturgis, it was the first gasoline-powered vehicle to take to the streets of Los Angeles.

 

Yeah but that roof looks to be more of a sloper than the stock ones, maybe it's just the angle of the picture.
