Description
This is a black and white photo of a car decorated in advertising for Elastica varnish. The car is sitting in front of what is reportedly Burke's Garage. Stand-up advertisement cut-outs of a man with gallons of varnish sit atop each front headlight and at the rear and sides of the car. A banner with Elastica Paints & Varnish is visible on the side of the car. A man sits in the driver's seat looking out of the window.
Notes
"Burke's Garage" is handwritten on the back of the photo. "Elastica" is seen on the stand-up posters. Other signs can be seen on the side of the car and over one of the tires.
