I love that stuff. Movie theaters used to have short features before the movie, one of which was called "A Pete Smith Specialty", and he did a whole episode on these cars in California. There may have been some of the same guys in it. If you wonder how long ago that was, the movies with shorts, cartoons, actual food in the concession stand, all that-- cost 50 cents per head for brand new movies, 25 cents for movies making a second or third run. And we all wore coats and ties to the movies. Woof.
