Another great picture from http://theoldmotor.com this one from Monroe,Mi,1937. Neat feature the way he breaks it into smaller pics that can be clicked on for greater detail. Besides the 36 state car I see a Model A tudor, two Chevies, a pontiac and a terraplane. Agree?
State Police block off a road and direct traffic in Monroe, Michigan on June 16, 1937, before a Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) rally in the town. The CIO had been formed in 1935, by the eight international unions that belonged to the American Federation of labor (AFL), the two later merged in 1955. Monroe is located between Toledo and Detroit and may have been picked as a good location between the two cities, for the labor unions rally held during the depression when there was much union activity.
Note the Gulf station in the background, with what appear to be two electric gasoline pumps and the nearest being a hand-pumped-visible-glass unit. The Old Motor photo.
