The all electric streamlined PCC streetcars were delivered to Los Angeles in 1948 and ran exclusively on the "P Car" line until the abandonment of the streetcar system in March 1963. Only on the last day of streetcar service was the all electric PCC allowed to run on the "J Car Line". Dear Scott Mercer,

You can almost imagine Jack Kerouac walking down this street. After all, these are the places (old downtown LA with the bums) he wrote about so romantically and sweetly.I can just imagine him inside a gresy spoon accross the street describing that giant brown building with all those neon lights and the hussle and bustle from the streets and sidewalk!!Great pic, Charles!

A few of those very streetcars, actually brought here from Los Angeles, are now running up and down Market Street in the beautiful city where I live, San Francisco.

In any event, I believe this is one of the later, post World War II PCC cars, which means it is close to new in this picture, probably less than one year old.
