Wow-I was just remembering Photomats a few days ago.
Photomats
phone booths
phone books
shoe shine stands
shoe repair
I noticed that there were five electronic repair shops when I moved into town years ago. Now there is one-for now.
Times are a changin'. The 'vette by the photomat will always be cool though

That is awesome. I remember the photomat right near my house where I grew up in the middle of the shopping center parking lot.

I remember the photomat as well , this is actually a pretty cool pic worth framing for the garage.
Thanks

HOOAH

I was on my way to work this morning and realized I drove by 4 video stores that were all out of business. 2 Blockbuster, 1 Hollywood Video and 1 Family video.

Love that Fotomat add too.

Yeah Terry the times are a changing... Especially in our ghost town.

Very cool add though, thanks for sharing.

I'll note that while it's a '72 ad, the car has 68-69 fender gills.

Our photomat closed it's door (singular) and a fancy coffee place went it.. Drive through latte (I think I spelled that right) and stuff. Now that craze has died down and it is closed again. Wonder what will be next?
Drive through divorce papers?

I'm old enough to remember that add.

It looks like the average C3 owner hasn't changed too much over time.

Thanks for sharing.

You grew up in the middle of the shopping center parking lot?
