A black and white photograph of a vintage gas station with a classic car parked at the pump. The station has several signs advertising gas prices, brands, and products like tires and tubes. In the background, there's a large rock formation, and the station is labeled with "DIXIE" on a circular sign above the roof. The setting appears to be in a rural or semi-desert area, as indicated by the rocky terrain and the sign mentioning Lupton, Arizona.
