In 1937, Walt Disney made Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs, Amelia Erhart disappeared while flying around the world, the Golden Gate Bridge opened, the Hindenburg crashed, Franklin Roosevelt was president, Shirley Temple inaugurated the first LA trolley, and the first flying car actually flew. The average wage was 85¢ per hour and gasoline cost 10¢ a gallon. That year, this 1926 carousel came to Griffith Park, where a ride cost only 5¢, and it is now the only 4-abreast Spillman carousel in existence.
