Photograph of the first automobile parade in Los Angeles, sponsored by the Los Angeles Automobile Club, looking east on Sunset Boulevard, 1904. About six automobiles drive along the sidewalk. Each car (all without roofs) carries two to four people. Two boys stand in the street watching as the lead car turns onto the roadway. The sidewalk is line with telephone poles. Mostly undeveloped grassy hills are visible in the background. "Before there was a traffic problem".
