On Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, USA, in rush hour traffic, a white van going one way passes a battered old 1953 Pontiac hearse bearing Ontario licence plates heading in the opposite direction. In the van: guitarists/singer/songwriters Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, both former Greenwich Village folkies from The Au Go Go Singers plus friend/manager Barry Friedman. In the hearse: guitarist/singer/songwriter, ex-Winnipegger Neil Young and Torontonian bass player Bruce Palmer, both formerly members of The Mynah Birds, in LA to look for Stills whom Young had met a year earlier in Fort William, Ontario. After 6 days searching in vain, they were heading north to San Francisco on that April afternoon.
The occupants of the white van noticed the hearse and Stills remembered that Young liked old hearses. Somehow the white van managed to manoeuvre itself behind the hearse. Honking their horn, the white van caught the attention of the two in the hearse. Both vehicles pulled into the parking lot of popular hippie hangout Ben Frank's restaurant. The occupants of both vehicles got out, Stills and Young embraced and introduced the other occupants. Later that evening, in Barry Friedman's house, Stills, Young, Furay and Palmer agreed to form a band. Taking a nameplate from a steamroller parked outside Friedman's Fountain Avenue house, they named themselves The Buffalo Springfield.
