"LAX, waiting for Soviet diplomat, 1959."


eBay







"View of Sepulveda Boulevard in Westchester, Los Angeles. You can see the Loyola Theater, J.C. Penney Co., Sav-on Drug Store, The Broadway dept. store, Harbor gas station,
a bus, and an LAPD motorcycle escort for visiting Soviet diplomat Nikita Khrushchev."

Dec. 1959

Nikita Khrushchev's motorcade heads for downtown Los Angeles, just east of the athletic field at Belmont high School, where Beverly Boulevard turns into 1st Street.
