Thats awesome! I would pay to ride it one round.

That's really a great photo. I had no idea they were building them that early. In 1970, I worked for Car Park of America, here in the Denver, CO area. We built those parking Ferris wheels along with other models that did not rotate.

Thanks for the photo.

One of the car resale company, maybe just in the west, has an ad that shows a car vending machine that looks something like that only more modern.

How does that work? Is the platform protruding to the right in the picture an elevator?

It's like the rotating rack in a dry cleaners. It revolves. Each car is on it's own "chair"

Carvanna.

I recently bought my wife a Nissan Pathfinder from them.

I recall my Dad having his car parked in something like this in the late '50 in NYC. Remember the car being taking up in a freight elevator.

There is one of those in Kansas City for selling cars. If I understood them right, it's supposed to work like a vending machine. Dave

Must take a lot of quarters....

No just one big token

Thats why new cars cost too much ?
