From the July 11,1949 feature: CITY AGAINST AUTO—Los Angeles fights way out of worlds worst traffic jam. According to LIFE, “The special nature of Los Angeles’ traffic problem and its special urgency occur form the fact that Los Angeles is a decade or so ahead of other cities in its automotive culture. This image ran in the photo essay with the following caption: "DRIVE-IN GROCERY permits its customers to motor through, and stopping at the counter to buy and stowing purchases in car. Other California drive-ins include florists,shoe repair shops, banks, and laundries.” (Loomis Dean—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LosAngeles #CarCulture #1940s #TBT
