Shorpey's image. Dig the advertising on the side, painted on a tarp. Did any of these survive into this era in any form? http://www.shorpy.com/node/22480?size=_original#caption |

Hotel Cabrillo is still there. It is now the West Wing of La Valencia Hotel and is the three-story pink structure on the left.

Pretty cool story about the teen rescuing the car. At $15,000 for all involved with lifting and shipping, I'd say he got quite a bargain. |

There's a photo I posted yesterday from my group, the McKeen Motor Car Company Historical Society, I was able to overlay another photo/postcard taken at the same place. I'd say I got quiet the deal as well, $16,805 and 27 cents...they wouldn't let me round off the check, haha. The car in the photo is almost identical to the car I have, and both served in San Diego, but both cars from the Los Angeles San Diego & Beach Railway were (believed to be) scrapped in 1917. -Madison Kirkman |
