Look at all those 48-Star Flags . . . Finally, a movie theater . . . hmmm. King Kong and Son of King Kong were out in 1933. Would they be showing an 8-10 yr old movie or is this from early 30's? And. The cars, the cars, the cars. Tanks really. Back in the day they ran into each other bumper to bumper all the time and zero damage. Well built. I'm not really good at calling out the correct year on these vehicles. They look like the late 30's and 40's era. Cool trip into the days of ol'. Thank you for that Mel.
