Product Description
The increase in car numbers in Sydney soon gave rise to off-street parking stations. This is the Exchange car park (later Grimes no. 3 parking station) on the corner of Bent and Macquarie streets, opposite the Free Public Library. At two shillings a gallon, fuel was less than 5 cents a litre. This photograph was taken for an advertisement enticing motorists to stop at the red, white and blue pumps of Union Motor Spirit Company.
