Default Time travel to 1963

Time travel a bit. Sunset Strip, Los Angeles, 1963.

Astonishing color footage of Sunset Strip starting at Horn Ave and ending at Doheny in 1963!

Is that a Simca Ariane, at 0:51? What is that white car, at 0:38?

Thanks, for the post!

I didn't see 77 Sunset Strip. Thought I might see Kookie or Cricket.

0:51 My first thought was it was French as well but I don't think it's a Simca. Someone else asked me as well. I'm beginning to think it may be Italian.

0:38 My first guess is a 60's era MG Magnette.



Anyways good catch on them fir'n cars!

It was great when cars all looked different and had personalities. Today most Suvs look like each other.

^ Music has been added; it seems to be higher resolution, and goes a little longer with a different ending! Looking at the YT version...........

Can anyone identify the white car parked at the 0:39 mark and/or the white car parked at the 0:53 mark (is that a 60’s MG Magnette)?

For those who wish to go back a decade here’s Hollywood Blvd 1957 (before most of you were born).
