1929 Auto show in San Francisco. Those are '29 Buicks in the foreground.
Beverly Buick, Olympic at Maple, Beverly Hills, CA. Streamline moderne, circa mid 1950's, still there but something else (maybe several businesses) now.
Well-kept stainless, glass block, stucco over brick probably, for a building that may be 80 years old

Was hoping this old gal would still be there. Alas, apparently not.

"The Indian Trail Trading Post in Lupton, Arizona, was opened in 1946 by Max and Amelia Ortega and operated near the state line for almost twenty years until it was razed for Interstate 40.
This photochrome postcard has as much detail as you would need to see in a Southwestern trading post: a station selling a gallon of gas for as low as 27 cents, pumps with glass globes on top, Indian and western designs painted on the main trading post building, and a mid-1950s Ford station wagon out front."
