New York City, 1965

Black Out Traffic

Y’all have had it way too easy, and you’ve been taking it for granted. I’m not about to go back and look for the last nighttime carspotting scene we’ve run, because it’s been that long. But even nighttime carspotting scenes usually benefit from things like, say, streetlights, unlike today’s (tonight’s) carspotting scene, courtesy Stiffspeed, which depicts NYC’s First Avenue in the midst of the November 9, 1965, blackout that engulfed the city. All you got to go on are silhouettes and what details the headlamps afford you. Another photo from the same evening is below, courtesy Gizmodo. So now, what do you see here?
