Toast
A fuzzy shot of Scrivener's before it was replaced by the filling station.

Some businesses that have had the address of 6400 Sunset were S.G. Stephens Willy-Overland (1925); Hollywood Motors (1928); The Hollywood Unit of the Women's Voluntary Services (1943); a Muntz TV factory store (1952): First United Thrift & Loan (1956-61 more or less). None of these have led to pictures so far...
Ah, my bad. Oh well, fooled I was, by the LAPL.

Here's color footage of the 101 freeway through the Cahuenga Pass and downtown LA circa 1950s (I see a 1959 Chevy heading up the 101 near the Four-Level), in glorious color.
