17 August 1961 to 2 September 1961

An unidentified man seated in the drivers seat of a display model of a 1961 Holden car exhibited at the Industries Fair held at the newly built Canterbury Court. All the doors from the cars are removed to allow people to more easily view the interior of the vehicle.
