Here's an early 1970s clip of Los Angeles, focused on wide shots of buildings and traffic on or near Wilshire Boulevard. 

Some landmarks include the art deco building called the Bullocks Wilshire, the Oasis Church, the Equitable Life Building, the Wilshire Christian Manor, and the Wilshire Colonnade Building. The Oasis Church is also known as the Wilshire Christian Church Building. 

Some noticeable points for orientation include an Oxford Avenue sign and Normandie Avenue sign. Both avenues intersect Wilshire. 

Palm trees appear to live on every street and all the locations shown bask in the early afternoon sunlight--what many view would view as characteristic of Los Angeles.
