# 1947 Period Authenticity Dossier

## Vehicles

- Post-war sedans, police cruisers, coupes, hydraulic brakes, AM radio, and
  faster urban pursuit profiles.
- Civilian traffic should feel heavier and more confident than the 1930s layer.

## Fashion

- Structured suits, detective coats, shop dresses, hats, gloves, handbags, and
  polished shoes.
- NPC silhouettes need crisp shoulders, narrow ties, and readable
  detective/civilian separation.

## Signage And Fonts

- Neon storefronts, department-store marks, LAPD signage, case-file typography,
  and high-contrast noir labels.
- UI flavor uses black, off-white, and controlled red neon accents without
  changing HUD layout.

## Slang, Music, Food, Radio

- Vocabulary includes badges, hot sheets, squad cars, witnesses, and precinct
  desk language.
- Music mix is bebop and blues; radio supports AM plus early TV references.
- Food references are coffee shops, early supermarkets, lunch counters, and
  boxed staples.

## Lighting

- Post-war neon, long-lens noir contrast, glossy wet streets, and controlled
  pools of light.
