I honestly cannot tell whether you are trying to be funny or, if so, how. I assure you I am making no jokes.
My advice to prepare for 15 C weather is not to say it will be that cool but that it merely might be. It's better to pack a light jacket and not need it than to come expecting beach weather and be shivering.
L.A. will be warmer than the Central Coast and San Francisco. In L.A. I would expect daytime temperatures at the end of February to range from highs of about 20 C right along the coast to 30 C well inland. Rain is much less likely than further north.
Again, I am being completely candid about this.

You can find more information here:
If you have your heart set on driving a convertible (with the top down), I suggest that you visit here in April or May.

You have some serious misconceptions about the weather in Southern California; the average high temperature in Los Angeles in March is 18 C and the average low is 9 C. The average rainfall for the month is 71 mm.

At the end of his visit, he said "I'll always remember Los Angeles as being rainy." With good reason, as it was drizzling or misty the whole time he was there.

I'm old enough to remember how the weather fouled up Queen Elizabeth's visit to California in March 1983.

If you want to drive a convertible, rent a convertible. Don't let the long range weather forecast scare you off. I've owned convertibles for the past 10 years in California and driven them all 52 weeks of each year. It's true that you won't want to put the top down if it's rainy, but cool weather is not that much of a problem. I've driven my convertibles past 4' snow drifts in the mountains!

Agree. I'd give it more like 1.5 hrs. Wouldn't try to do both in one day.
If you want more of a "Studio Tour" Warner Bro's Tour is more interesting
for many of my guests.
