Winter car washing at a new Illinois business in 1960



(January 3, 2021) Below are eight press photos that were taken shortly after the opening a new car wash in Freeport, Ill, in the winter of 1960. In addition to getting a car wash, motorists could fill up their gas tank at a set of fuel pumps before entering the building. The fourth picture shows there was snow on the ground and the outdoor temperature was, indeed, wintery.  Courtesy of The Old Motor and This Was Americar.
