I had help with the car names for this one. For those interested, the car on the far right, the reddish one is a 1938 American Bantam Boulevard Delivery car. The blue one is a Ford model 48, and the beige a 1938 Oldsmobile.
The building was shaped like a lighthouse, but as far as I know they only served gas and fixed cars here.
There was a postcard for this station, I took the colors from that. The background however I went with a pinkish theme, I've seen that look in Florida.
Presently this building is gone, replaced by a SOHO Bay Restaurant.
