Artifact Overview

Two different model years were represented by the three Ford Motor Company cars parked along the curb in this photograph. The 1935 sedan -- distinguished by four horizontal bars on its grille -- was sandwiched by a 1934 coupe and a 1934 sedan. Possibly for humorous effect, the cars were parked under a "No Parking" sign at a bus stop.

    America's cars symbolize mobility, but they spend 95 percent of their time parked. Storing cars is a longstanding challenge, and every solution brings new problems. Parking lots and structures transform urban and suburban landscapes, parking meters and tickets exasperate city drivers, and residential garages have moved from the back yard onto the house itself. There are as many as a billion parking spots in the United States -- one heck of a lot.
