    I once offered a Convertible for some “dignitaries” to ride in for a political parade, till I found out they wanted to sit on the seat back on the top bows. I politely backed out. People, especially when they want to use your car for an event normally don’t give a darn about it, as long as it serves their purpose. Then they wanted to tape signs all over it too.... what the hell was I thinking?

    Looks like it is still there, but now the pump is enclosed in a small shed, you can still see the 2 storage tanks that are outside of the hut. When I was a Kid it just had a run down 4ft chain link fence abound it with a broken gate on the west side were the rail road tracks were. The Tracks are gone, on street view I see it has a newer chain link fence & my friends house just to the north past the dead end sign has been expanded. I can still remember smelling the heavy oil when playing on the rail road tracks

    What exactly is this? It's kind of odd to see it in a neighborhood like this.

    What an example of automotive blight, comparing that ghetto Jag with those Packards
    Last time I was there, if you didn't have it in a brown paper bag, they could lock you up for it

    OK, not the same person I once knew. He was Ken Brethauer; if you run into your friend, ask him if he's met Ken, seen his '36 phaeton. It's pretty likely the answer's yes.

    How about the Giant Tire beside I-94 in Allen Park Michigan, originally built as a ferris wheel for the worlds fair.

    Later converted to a giant advertisement and moved to its current location.
