The Dumbarton Bridge goes over the South Bay, from East Palo Alto to the Fremont / Union City Area.
The San Mateo Bridge goes from San Mateo to Hayward.
This is from KTVU, the same news readers that will be forever remembered in the Annals Of News Readers for:

Ho Lee Fuk

“No More Secrets”
There’s a chance it could at least be restored as a “rat rod.”
Ding Bang Oww!
Wi Ghit Hit!
I remember a story told by Ronald Reagan related to his bridge. When he was Governor of California, he got a letter from a little girl which went as follows:
Dear Governor Reagan:
Please change the name of the Dumbarton Bridge. Thank you
Signed, Mary Barton
Gangster whitewalls, were they doing a drive-by with Tommy Guns?
Ow!!
Seeing that makes me cry!!
In fact, the name of that bridge is the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. Those dumb-a$$es.
I once called up the KTVU newsroom (and actually talked directly to the "famous" Sal Castenado) and told them to stop referring to the highway between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz as I-880. It's Highway 17. He said "No, you're wrong, it's I-880." Clueless.

A friend of mine traded a mint 427 Ford Cobra replica, for a Packard perhaps a few years older than this one. Looked original, but had a 454, A-C, disc brakes, 4-speed automatic, and posi-trac rear end. Sweet ride.
It will buff out.
