Nice view of Beverly Hills dealership in 1935

I found a very high quality film of Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills on archive.org. This was apparently a film taken to be used a backdrop in a movie (rear projected behind the actors sitting a car probably). What makes this film interesting is that a high resolution version can be downloaded (the one marked 720P). The car traveled the route twice. On the first pass the camera pointed to the rear. On the second pass, the camera pointed obliquely to the side. On the both passes you can see the Thompson Motor Company, but the second pass gives a particularly good view of the dealership. You can see new Packards in the showroom, and in the next block is the dealership's used car lot. I have attached a still of the used car lot (it is sharper in the movie).
You can find the movie by going to archive.org and searching for "beverly hills automobile" or directly by this link:https://archive.org/details/56DF_40030-414_A_LA Attach file:  (43.20 KB) (40.49 KB)
