A black and white photograph of a vintage gas station with several cars parked at the pumps. Prominent signage for Dunlop and Conoco is visible, along with festive bunting flags strung across the top of the frame. An advertisement for "New! Clear Air Gasolines" is also in view, suggesting a mid-20th-century setting.
