Interesting shot of Model-T type cars waiting to get onto the Golden Gate bridge. People wave at them as they drive slowly by. We see houses that may be in Marin or in the Presidio in S.F.

Cars come onto the bridge. A bicycle is in the forefront, and we se Marin behind them.

 3:08:65- 3:19:35

Good image of people walking across the G.G. bridge, but it's either foggy or the film is just old and tired because it's difficult to see the bridge.
