It’s been a week when cars and alcohol consumption have been in the news.

So when we came across this photo of a garage in Rusholme, we couldn’t help noticing the advertising on the surrounding hoardings.

Rusholme, Wilmslow Road, east side 14, April 1958.

You would have to trust a garage called Angel Motors!

Cars of all types are represented in our photo collections.

Here’s an early model.

These cars are in the process of being converted to ambulances during the Second World War.

Some are just for fun.

Dodgem cars, Southport, 1948. (GB124.DPA/1262/86).

Could this be an early version of photographic evidence of a parking ticket?

And did this prank in Bolton inspire the Italian Job?
