The Rambler dealership in the preceding photographs was located on the north-west corner of Islington Avenue and Bloor Street West. It was demolished in 1965 to make way for the Islington subway station. Hillman was a British car manufacturer acquired by Chrysler in 1967, and Rambler was a marque owned by the American Motors Corporation, also absorbed by Chrysler, in 1987.
This “White Rose” gas station was constructed in the mid-1950s and was situated on the north-eastern corner of the intersection of Islington Avenue and Dundas Street West. The White Rose Oil Company was taken over by Royal Dutch Shell in 1962 and its gas stations were re-branded under the “Shell” label two years later. This service station continues to operate under the Shell brand today.
