I received this link from an old family friend who lives in California. Although I am Canadian, I appreciate the nostalgia. Most of these of course are familiar - but some I have never seen before.

cool photos- but how in the world did they get those cars on the 6 different levels of the parking structure? Those are large cars too.

Some nice hand lettering on some of those. Liked the corn alcohol sign

Some of those stations had real character.
Reminds me of an old magazine store my grandfather used to take me to. Oakland CA. Wood framed building on a corner, wood plank walls, worn wood floor. Smelled of paper. Magic.

Makes me want to watch "Cars" again...

The cars may have been moved with the help of a floor jack. My Dad would somtimes move cars very tight like that.

Some nice vintage pictures but a couple are of recent manufacture.Not sure where the Model A with the shark teeth on it was shot but the 53-54 Pontiac wagon with the aluminum travel trailer attached was taken at the Gilmore Museum in Hickory Corners Michigan.
I've seen that stacked car setup before and am trying to remember how it was done.I believe thaere was an elevator type platform on rails that serviced both sides of the stack.

Those were the days. did a lot of service station work in the 50's and Dad did all of Powerine/Powerlube signs in the 20's and 30's. We also did a bunch for Little America in the late 50's.
