Ciros was so beautiful, it's a shame the signage today isn't as deco and subtle as back then. Sunset Blvd looks like tacky Las Vegas now.

Is the sphinx club still standing to this day?

I just found out that the orange Jaguar parked across from Romanoffs was not Bogie's. I guess the 1% got me.

@Hevynly1: Humphrey Bogart had a 1949 Jaguar and he used to eat lunch at Romanoff's quite often. I don't know the color of Bogie's Jag, but I'm 99% sure it's his.

@DA90027 Ciro's is now the Comedy Store. The original Ciro's sign is in their kitchen!

Thank you for sharing this amazing video of old Los Angeles. I really wish it still looked like these videos and that these places still existed, as well as the cars! Hope you keep posting more :)

@Hevynly1 it's a 1949 Jaguar XK120.

Robert Mitchum used to drive one back then.

International Motors was the authorized Jaguar Dealer in Hollywood and Roger Barlow was its owner.

I'm really enjoying all your videos. Top quality!!!

Are you doing a PhD on L.A. History or something??

[Craiglaca1]

[Hevynly1]

Does anyone know what type of car that is around 4:00? The red one.
