Tampa, Florida, 1959

Not too long ago, we went carspotting in a Montgomery Ward’s parking lot, so let’s go carspotting now outside Montgomery Ward’s competition, a Sears store at 2010 East Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa, Florida. According to William Bird, who uploaded this postcard image to Flickr, the card was postmarked 1959, so the actual date of the image could be a couple years older than that. What do you see here? Also, how can people park that poorly with that much room around the parking spaces?
