Scope and content
A look at the new lighted car lot belonging to Walker Chevrolet on April 24, 1964. The 40,000 sq.ft. lot is packed with Chevrolet trucks and automobiles, both new and used. Walker Chevrolet would be welcoming the Tacoma Giants with a "giant" opening celebration. A half-page ad in the May 1, 1964, News Tribune indicated that autographed free baseballs as well as many other prizes would be given away. Walker Chevrolet had been at its Division Ave. location since 1934. In the picture's background are the Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church and on Tacoma Ave. So., the Romanesque First Presbyterian Church. (TNT ad 5-1-64, p. A-4, B-2)
