Historic Victoria Advertisements
Automobiles & Transportation 1920-1929

As part of our series on Historic Victoria Advertisements, Automobiles & Transportation, 1920-1929, here is a 1926 advertisement for Chrysler “70” automobiles, from Thomas Plimley, Limited, “Broughton Street at Broad”.

We think the Thomas Plimley location was on the south side of the intersection of Broughton Street and Broad Street, where the Broughton Square Parkade is today.
