Cave City, Kentucky. They stopped selling gas in the 70's, but the rest still stands. Wigwam Village No. 2 – Authentic Americana Since 1937

BTW, those are more like Tee-Pees and not Wigwams. Wigwams are dome shaped.

Looks like Victorian number plates, as in the State of Victoria, Australia. The car front and centre is a HR Holden.

Zooming in on photo looks like early Queensland (North Australia) plates. They had black and white plates like Victoria

The UK Motors building looks super cool to my eyes. I note the steering wheel on the right and the selection of cars -- my bet is on Australia. @crv @69PHOENIX @Captainfury @Imperial Pete @Northern Australia @Dunno-Mate @Bucket @SOVIET @AussieB @Bucket

Very unique building, which could be identified with AI these days i should think.
Given the mauve Holden, and what look like local plates- yes, Australia somewhere is a definite possibility.New Zealand is another.

I've used Google Lens to try to ID or locate a lot of the places I've posted. The search part seems OK, but the AI driven location is wrong about 90% of the time. A second try with the same photo usually gives another location that's still incorrect.
