Vintage Los Angeles: Capturing a moment of 1966 America. Brian Wilson alongside his Sunfire Yellow ’66 Sting Ray with a ’66 Mustang and ’66 Lincoln Continental in the background. Just a few months after this photo was taken Brian’s “Good Vibrations” would be released and begin rising to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the Beach Boys’ third number one hit and their first million-selling single.

Lincoln Blvd, 1973 (a contender for “The Ugliest Street in the World”). This view is taken from about Lincoln and Ozone in Santa Monica, looking South into Venice. The Safeway was at Lincoln and Rose. Note the giant ‘Tire Man’. The chicken shack in the foreground became a donut shop, and a friend and I worked there for a short while in the middle seventies, just after high school.
