Frontier, Albuquerque, New Mexico
1962

A vintage black and white photograph depicting a roadside scene with a gas station advertising "FRONTIER 29¢" fuel prices. The station has a large sign with the price and the word "FRONTIER" prominently displayed. There are also smaller signs indicating the acceptance of credit cards and a "COCKTAIL BAR" adjacent to the station. In the background, there are mountains under a cloudy sky, suggesting a rural or semi-rural setting. The image has a border typical of old photographs.
