'55 because the side emblem is below the belt line.

Good eye!

Red with White tops!

That's a great picture. I love how new that station looks.

1project2many · 12-11-2019, 09:56 PM

Something broken in something reliable.

^^^ That's a cool shot. Anyone know where that is? I see snow on the peak. Is that a dam in front or some other kind of structure? Railroad trestle, aqueduct?

Google Earth is really cool. The software lets you look around a location as if you were standing there. Unfortunately it looks like Peterson's Texaco along with several other buildings in that photo are no longer.

Ha. $.24 a gallon. I remember those days. I know there is a bunch of old timers that remember that too. Great thread.

On the North Cascade highway. One of the best drives in America! I highly recommend it to everyone. The Olympic rainforest through Alpine forests then above the tree line and then back down into high desert terrain or vice a versa depending on whether your going east or west.

Kudos to the OP for starting an excellent thread!

If its a dam that would be (or was) a bad location.

Maybe someone eventually figured that out and that's why it's not there anymore. The gas station and other buildings, I mean.

Publicity still from 1963 film “A Ticklish Affair” with Shirley Jones and Carolyn Jones (aka Morticia Adams).

It appears to be a dam. The photo was taken by a professional photographer, Dave Gelinas. If you look through Flickr he's taken many cool car related photos over the years.

He also appears to be on aaca.

I remember my brother stopping at a gas station driving me home from school and we put 13 cents of gas in our dad's 55 F-100.

How about this cool AD!

We may this again when LA continues on the path they are on -- Less the AD.

Agreed! What a strange scene behind the truck. Is that a scrap yard? Industrial dumping ground? Very strange...

A few more?

MiraclePieCo · 12-19-2019, 03:41 AM

The 2001 movie "Vanilla Sky" recreated the famous Bob Dylan album cover with Tom Cruise, and with an AD truck in the background.
