Yes, that's Kaunakakai, the main town on the island of Molokai where I grew up. I was 11 years old when that picture was taken; my family is still there.

That's a 1956 Chevy wagon. And the car behind it is a 1959 Chevy, not an Oldsmobile.

Isn't that near Kumon Iwana Laya?
I knew a girl from there.

After some Google map searching for the sign in the background there: KAUNA??KAI SALES & SERVICE, I found Kaunakakai, Hawaii, on the island of Molokai. Then I went to flickr and looked around the photo maps and found a few good shots of the area. I think that the Shell station in the background is now Kalama Service at 53 Ala Malama St.
Great site!
