Actually the camera is facing Northeast, and the car is going Southwest, which is outbound, after going West on Hollywood Boulevard, and about to continue West on Santa Monica.
It is indeed a new parking lot now, although the first few blocks of the right of way Southwest of Hollywood Boulevard, and crossing Sunset is still clearly visible as a diagonal alley.
Fairfax runs North and South, and its a 5050, not a PCC, but still a good pic!

And there ended the diagonal cut through Hollywood, which is still somewhat noticeable on google map wide shots, great pict!
