Description
Photograph of a group of motorists driving an early automobile along Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, ca.1903. Four women and a man make their way along the unpaved road in a topless automobile, the man driving and dressed in a long coat. A two-story craftsman-style house is visible in the right background at the foot of a hill, while a second, similarly constructed house can be seen to the left behind a utility pole. A gazebo topped by an American flag is pictured at the top of the hill.
