In South Central Los Angeles in the 50-60's there was a row of "junk yards" along Alameda Street. You could always find that rare part, bolt or bracket by going shop to shop. You could even call ahead and the yard owners had a telephone system where they would let your need be known and another shop would quickly respond that they "had one".
Oh well, lost a lot of the really cool stuff we took for granted. Like the Helms Bakery truck that came down the street and sold you a 10cent jelly donut... even if you only has a nickel and a couple of pennies. Chap
