It’s nice to see it functional instead of a tourist hell hole.

i love these types of photos. old enough where everything looks different, but still the same concept as today. imagine this picture side by side with the same frame taken in 2060

The original batmobile?

Note extreme shift in car styles from 1959 Cadillac in foreground to yellow 1960 Ford in background.

You can see the mist of smog a couple of blocks away. My first visit was in 1968. You could hardly make out detail through the brown pollution fog 3-4 blocks away.
