Seems like it was much easier to get away with sleeping in your car back then...

What a great series!  AM radio, cars you can recognize but the Grand Canyon still looks the same for some silly reason...LOL!

What a terrific find! I' reading the whole thing. :)

I think that the first yellow EXIT ONLY tab I saw was in 1965. This one looks rather un-Californian, at least to my southern eye:

The street lamp has a "suction cup" style luminaire and I spotted a Chevrolet Corvair.  Quite a historical shot.
