Carspotting

The Hemmings blog sometimes posts "carspotting" photographs:  images from the past, mostly from the 1930s-40s as far as I can tell, of everyday scenes that just happen to be filled with cars.  Images have included parking lots, main streets, intersections, etc.  If you are a classic car fan, it is a fun game to see how many makes and models you can identify.  This photo is of the intersection of Sheridan, Montrose and Broadway in Chicago on a June afternoon.
