Taken at 400mm but the cropping hasn't gone too well.
notice the two men reading newspapers...two brick walls...the two large poseters...the two windows on the left (our left at the least)...the two fans...etc.
This car was built in the early 1960s and has recently reappeared looking almost as good as it did 45 years ago.

The Automobile Driving Museum (ADM) is "The museum that takes you for a ride." They'll take you for a Sunday spin in a vintage car, of which they display a collection of 130 in their sprawling showroom. Located at 610 Lairport St. in El Segundo, close to LAX, the friendly Automobile Driving Museum is a Los Angeles treasure.
At The Point, a new shopping center in El Segundo across the street from Fry's to the south and an oil refinery to the west.
The coolest part of our local parade was this bike group. These guys were cool, even though I'm guessing most of them weren't from 'round here.
a little local el segundo history....
on a mural downtown....
El Segundo is a city in Los Angeles County, California on the Santa Monica Bay, incorporated on January 18, 1917. The population was 16,033 at the 2000 census.
The area was once a part of Rancho San Pedro and later became El Rancho Sausal Redondo ("The Clump of the Willows"). The most common story of how the city received its current name is that it became the site of the second ("el segundo") Standard Oil refinery on the West Coast in 1911. In 2006, El Segundo won an Eddy award for being the most business friendly city in Los Angeles county. El Segundo is in transition from being a Caucasian, blue-collar 'company town' to being a 'corporate' town where the tax base relies on a non-resident working population. Pollution and toxic waste cleanup remain issues as El Segundo restores industrial sites to shopping malls and sports facilities. To date the social problems in areas east of El Segundo have not spread west of the Burlington-Northern/Santa Fe railway. Many east-west avenues in El Segundo do not penetrate the neighborhoods lying east; the elevated commuter rail also runs north-south on the east edge of the town. The north and south boundaries of the town are the LAX airport and prosperous Manhattan Beach with the Pacific as the western boundary. Smoke stacks at Vista del Mar and Grand Ave are not featured in this biased article. The most prominent feature of the town is the massive oil refinery which borders the town center and the massive sewage treatment facility on the west side of the town. Office towers are not a prominent feature of this town from any but a very select vantage point (the towers are no longer occupied by Hughes although the helipad #1 remains in place.) Aircraft noise from LAX is a major issue for residents on the north side of El Segundo. Warnings of West-nile virus are posted in the town. Traps for rats can be found near the walls of most office buildings. There is a notable lack of songbirds in the town as compared to towns east and south of El Segundo. The town's decision to destroy vast numbers of Ficus trees remains very controversial: the trees can still be found near the city hall where they offer abundant shade. The trees were blamed for the high cost of sidewalk repairs in the town. Residents are currently active in tree-planting along Imperial Highway.
