cool photo huh!
but when you look close at the cluster of cars, you can see the impeccably dressed gas pump attendents, in white with hats.... and the 4 pumps per island. See the delivery truck? Baffle Bar? Pepper Tree? Huh.... no wonder it's not around now a days
and the miniature blimps, and off to the far left the big tread demonstration vehicle.
They must have been selling a lot of gas, as the fuel tanker is right on site to make sure they didn't go dry.
OH MAN!!! What I wouldnt give for that Zeppelin model / advertising prop - never ever seen one of those in that size. How abso-friggen-lutely cool. [technically, its not a blimp - blimps are non rigid and this is obviously modeled after a rigid airship, oft called a Zeppelin. In fact, were it not for Goodyear, Zeppelins such as the Graf Zeppelin, the American Macon or Shenendoah nor the Hindenburg probably would never have been built...]
ReplyDeleteI like the 5-window Model A coupe in the middle of the second picture.
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at Shorpy for a while. It's easy to spend a lot of time looking at that site!
me too! Looks sorta small compared to the rest of the vehicles. Yeah it is, I haven't went there for 4 years! I have a lot of catching up to do

ReplyDeletethank you! I've posted that before... somewhere in the archives, and I try to avoid repeating showing the same photos, so I don't let my readers think that I'm getting lazy, and not keeping the effort up to bring plenty of new content
