Ye Olde Publix
Publix, based in Lakeland FL, is Florida’s predominant supermarket chain, becoming established from the late 1940s. “Where Shopping Is A Pleasure” has continued as their slogan today. One store in Treasure Island features this early 1960s view of what would have been one of the largest supermarkets of its day. Remarkably, three British-built cars feature in this otherwise all-American scene: a Nash Metropolitan coupe, built in Longbridge by Austin,a Hillman Super Minx, and a 2-seater roadster that is possibly an Austin Healey Sprite.
