Ya ever wonder what 'our' parents did in "pre-Bullitt" in San Fran....

Check out the early iron (and hot rods) back-in-the-day in the hilly city of San Francisco.....
AND the clothes/ shoes/mannerisms/architectural style/and stuff that STILL remains the same  from nearly 100 years ago. (They had people back then that didn't know how to park correctly...geesh!)

I swear.....I was looking for the Bullitt Mustang and that bad-A$$ black Dodge Charger to top the hill on a couple of scenes!! (See if you can pick out which streets I'm talk'in about)

Looks to me about 1948-9, that’s the latest models of cars I recognized. They did not show Lombard St. , I made sure I drove it when I was there years ago.
In those years all best dressed men wore fedoras,  my dad never went out without one.
Incline parking with front wheels turned into the curb, almost a necessity with manual gear boxes.
Good find Sal.

Ah...  I remember it well.

I'd say 46-47 because there were not enough post war cars.  There would have been more if it were 48.

Looks like even the cameras in the 40s could give you that "roller coaster" type feel on the mean streets of SanFrancisco.

Officer- can you give me a discrption of the suspects?
victim- they were wearing suits and fedora hats.
Officer- you just described half the city.
victim-everyone is so well-dressed out here! The gas attendant cleaned my windshield with his tie!

If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

Good eye, I was looking at the train car in the middle of the street.


If this forum can't fix it, it isn't broke.
