[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 199955, member: 59"]It looks like Dodge to me too. Some possible points of interest in the photo - 1. The Tydol sign has the word Gasoline between Tydol and the "Flying A" logo. I have searched Google images til me eyes crossed and have not seen a single one like that. More commonly, there was the word Ethyl or the word Flying in that location on the sign. Perhaps finding an online forum for gasoline sign geeks would help place this particular design. 2. The clothing on both makes me wonder whether this might be late 30's/early 40's. The girl is wearing saddle shoes under those skates. 3. The street to our left is cobbled instead of the macadammed surface to our right - and those are darned old trees (elms?) in front of the gas station. In the far background there's a very long flat-roofed building - probably on a hill (making it look taller than it probably was.) A mix of brick and wood construction in the middle ground buildings. This town has been around a while and has an industrial history. 4. Can someone tell the approximate age of the cars parked along the street on the right? The ones that look more "modern?"[/QUOTE]
