Sunset Strip 1979
Amazing array of old cars that weren't so "old" back then. There's a yellow Toyota Celica in there I think.

Not auto-related, but - Judy Collins.
I saw her back around 1959 in STL's "bohemian section"called Gaslight Square, in a small coffee house called The Laughing Buddha - she was just getting started and barely in her 20's.
The next time was around 1986 - still a voice like liquid velvet.
Obviously she made an impression on me, to have recalled the venue from 56 (!) years ago...
Cher, not so much...

T4WD augury?

Re: Sunset Strip 1979
looks like an even older corolla right behind the yellow one (white). I see three volvos, at least two fiat spiders. Perhaps an Alfa sedan, or spider? (on the upper right in front of one of the volvos).
Cher was at the peak of her career than, I was in my second year of college, I have driven that road a number of times. I never understood the romance of the strip, it was always very crowed and full of traffic.

Re: Sunset Strip 1979

I can name almost every car in that picture.

It takes more fossil fuel resources to produce new vehicles than it would take to maintain and fuel any 70's or 80's vehicle for a million miles.
