My guess


Same vintage as this one of the original Tecate border crossing. Taken in 1919

Those cars look to be mld to late 20s vintage. But that guess is based upon the cars they used in The Untouchables, starring Robert Stack as Elliot Ness. Remember that great TV show?

Wonder if the name Johnson on the sign is related to the Johnson's from Meling Ranch.
