Woodward's was Vancouver's landmark department store, and the Hastings Street "W" is still a city icon. This guide captures 1950s Vancouver in the motor-court era, with the auto courts on Kingsway, the original chair lifts on Grouse and Hollyburn, and a motel stamp from West Vancouver's Marine Drive. It is a great piece of British Columbia history for map collectors, Woodward's fans, and roadside Americana collectors.

If you collect vintage Pacific Northwest road maps, mid-century British Columbia travel brochures, or Woodward's department store memorabilia, this 1950s Greater Vancouver tourist guide and map is a colorful addition to your collection.
