History RARE 1932 CHICAGO " VERTICLE AUTOMATIC PARKING LOT" Film Found

...

 

that's cool

 

Sure would free up a lot of room in the back yard. Bob

 

LOL! Plus... you know your neighbors are just going to LOVE it!!!

 

When I lived in Chicago there was still a parking garage or two that had a big elevator. They would drive your car on it then raise it up to the level they wanted to park it at, then drive it off and park it. There were no ramps to waste space. Of course, you were obligated to have some greaseball drive and park your car for you.

Neat!
Any engineer's reading that could calc what that counter weight system weighs!?

 

Iv'e seen a similar set up in Japan about 25 years ago. I sat there and watched it like I was a zombie!

 

That is just to cool...Thanks for all you do for us fans of old cars

 

There are many of these type of parking systems in NYC....and are used every day.

 

I've seen this before. I always wondered about fluid leaking....

I also wondered about a fire, let alone cost effectiveness.... Oh shit I forgot my wallet.... then rotate it back around and down.... LoL
