With the end of the road in sight and on the last remaining steps to the conclusion of our 28-mile walk of Western Avenue Saturday, we were passed by a beautiful thing of the past, prompting Julia to exclaim “We’ve walked so long we’ve traveled back in time!”
I only managed a still photo as it motored by, but quicker-reflexed David P. scored this awe-tastic video clip, complete with the aaarroooooooogah of the vehicle’s horn, and posted it to his Flickr photoset of the long day’s journey.
I couldn’t have scripted a more classic ending to the walk than with that of a classic car.

I absolutely loved reading about your trek down Western. Herculean feats aside, the photos were stunning and the jalopy ending was the icing on the cake. As a three year resident near the Wiltern, I’ve come to love and recognize many of the facades you showcased in your slideshow and it made me love “Old Los Angeles” that much more. Thank you for doing this. I can’t wait to read everyone else’s comments. Congrats to your group! You inspire us all!
