Description	Plenty of room - even if future cars are wider. RKO's Gloria Graham illustrates how the designers of the new 450-car General Petroleum Garage made the structure roomy enough for even the widest of present day cars like the 1949 Packard Convertible. The entire structure is a continuous spiral ramp curving from basement to roof of the "one-story building six stories high." Cars are parked on the sides of the two traffic lanes in the center of the ramp. Photograph dated February 28, 1949.
