Van Nuys Boulevard the summer of 1972, young people from Los Angeles cruise on a Wednesday night. “You had everything from your Mustangs to lowriders and hot rods. … Essentially you were out there to see your friends, show off your car, and just sort of be there.

McCloskey’s photos of Los Angeles were published along with a collection of essays “Los Angeles in the 1970s,” by Rare Bird Books.
