The driver of the first car appears to have a large pointy nose and smoking a pipe. I realize it is really the hat brim of the person sitting in the right seat creating the nose illusion. I am not sure who is smoking the pipe. My first thought however was that the driver was Jimmy Durante.

The "strange coupe" that is "four cars over" appears to be a circa 1933 Willys.

The pool hall has several "long wire" antennae attached to a pole. I'm guessing that would be the place to hear the game, etc. from the big city (LA & SF, about 160 miles away), or even international shortwave news. Deluxe radios of this era could tune shortwave and longwave in addition to commercial AM.

Alternate theory: Local radio dispatch for trucks, etc.

elbeaver, the car you are looking at it a Willys 77. The body style shown here was used from 1933 until '36. I can't tell without seeing the front end what one it is.

I finally got what Radar O'Reilly was talking about in M*A*S*H all those years ago when he ordered a Grape Nehi at Rosie's Bar. Not being a citizen of the US.

Fourth car from the left I believe is a 1932 Ford -- tough looking 80 years ago.

The '37 Ford is easy to identify but not the fourth car in. A five-window coupe with very interesting wheel design. I don't believe I've ever seen one before.

On the auto far left. Must be amphibious.

Really nice '37 Ford Deluxe Fordor front and center. Pretty shiny looking for a three-year-old car in that era.

Florsheim Shoes always remind me of going to the mall in So. Cal. and my grandfather, who often wore them.

And the side-on view of the grille of that late-30's Ford(?) in the front of the row of cars is fascinatingly almost transparent. I have never seen that angle on that before.
