Wire wheels on that Ford

Indicate that it's a 1935 model. That was the last year that Ford used wire wheels. The 1936 Fords used the steel wheels with the very large bolt pattern, which were used up to, and including, 1939. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful car.

It's a long walk from Pennsylvania. I guess Dino hadn't gotten this far south yet.

Where’s the dinosaur?

Although, I don’t see the green dinosaur, I loved these filling stations because of them as a kid! The same for Mobil’s flying horse. Sadly, dad was an Esso man.

Makes the Sinclair station look like an addition to a Lionel train setup.
