This is looking East on Sunset Blvd, at Crescent Heights Blvd.
Pandora's Box was razed to 'improve' the intersection, after much civil unrest. Schwab's (behind the palm) is long gone. The Standard gas station, and the building behind it (with the short tower) are extant in Google street as of August 2012.
With all due respect to poikaa, that gold Pontiac is a 1966 Grand Prix (unique tail light set up), while the Buick is a 1965 LeSabre (I owned a two door). I don't have a wide range of expertise, but I am quite certain about these two cars. Good call on the rest of the vehicles.
The car in front appears to be a 1967 Pontiac Bonneville, There is a 1965 Mustang, a Buick LeSabre (1966), a Ford Econoline (1965) ans way in front of the van is a Pontiac Catalina of 1961 vintage!
This just might be the "newest" place I plan to visit with my time machine. Tlachiquero, save me a seat on the night the Byrds are playing. If it's "Sweetheart of the Rodeo"-era Byrds, I want to be in the front row.
Forget KNX. That's Pandora's Box below the sign. Infamous hippie hangout where I saw the Byrds.
