February 1936. "Card Alley. North Beach District (Italians). San Francisco, California." 4x5 acetate negative by Dorothea Lange. View full size.
...is a 1934 Chrysler rumble seat coupe.
The pole in the modern view appears to be the exact same one that was there in 1936.
I am always amazed at how clean most of the streets are in most of these old photos. What is even more amazing is the current version is almost as clean as the original.
I also find it interesting that the telephone pole and some other features seem to be very similar in both photos.
