Book measures 8.5" x 11"; 150 pages; capturing the spirit and optimism of the famed electric "Balloon Route" of the Los Angeles Pacific... which eventually gave way to the "Red Cars" of the Pacific Electric Railway throughout the Los Angeles Basin (as heralded in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?")

A classic Los Angeles story for the ages...
Saturday’s Toys and Collectibles was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and media historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first online specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 15,000 coveted treasures since that time, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers and collectors throughout the globe.
Today, online offerings of archival keepsakes are presented in celebration of the times that allow for family, friends and neighbors to join in memorable gatherings that nurture the strong connections that bind a community together. These treasures are affectionately represented by "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a nod to the Sherman Brothers): "Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
