When you hailed a 1929 Fiveborough Paramount Cab from the Yellow Cab Company, you were never charged for extra passenger or traffic delays.

The city was Los Angeles. The year was 1934.

    I bet the traffic delays in 1934 Los Angeles would seem nothing less than quaintly adorable by the standards of today’s gridlock.
