John Freeman notes: The crowd sitting on those curved
things with the great billboards in the background, is
one of a kind. The curved piece are the concrete forms, used when the sea-wall
was pored. They are
made of wood, covered with 1X8 boards. That was the time period they were
building of the sea-wall.

John Freeman notes (4-25-2009): This is most likely one of
the "for hire" touring cars, not a private vehicle. The driver is
not involved in the picture taking and stares ahead, not at the
camera. The 3 slats running from the fenders, above the running
board on the drivers side is the strongest indication of a "for
hire" car, since passengers would enter or exit at the curb and the
left side of the car could be used for luggage or storing
blankets/lap robes (since there was no trunk on these old open
touring cars. The location is obvious.
