That is the first gas station I have seen with pumps on both sides, very cool design.
 
Now thats a classy gas station!!! Had one of those " standard service" porcelain signs, got it for free in a scrap iron deal in the 80's. Sold at my auction last year for about 800
IIRC. Thats auctions, some things you win, others...you loose.
 
The '33 is a darn good looking car.

Dave, do you have a location of that station. It looks well built. I'm wondering if it is still standing today?

Sorry guy's but its a Deluxe Tudor 1934, NOT 1933. NOTE the bumper guards.....1933's had NO bumper guards AND "IF" anyone added them, they would NOT sit straight up and down, they would be angled in at the tops as they do not fit the 33 bumper bolt spacing correctly!!!!

Good eye, Robert. Still looks like a dream from that vantage point.

Absolutely!!


"BUT" I agree, In principle, OF the two, the 33 is more pretty, IMO!!!!


AS an aside, the 35 Two Door is quite nice too, Especially IF its the "slant back"



Really the "WHOLE" picture is quite dreamy...from the station, to the pumps to the cars, signage...Its the total package
 
It's in Ann arbor, Michigan - called the Tuomy Hills Gas Station. Writeups about it on Wikipedia, Facebook, etc.. Here's a more modern picture from a different angle. Apparently it's a coffee shop now.
