Except for the jeep, only Chevys, a Ford and a Plymouth. The low-priced three.

 

Re: Cars

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

 

Cars

I used to have a 1959 Olds just like the one behind that red 55 Chevy wagon.

You're a wise and considerate young man.

 

Location

Isn't that near Kumon Iwana Laya?

Found it!

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!
