Are those corn cob looking toppers/lights unique to the paint scheme or is that standard issue for this pump?

That is a 1937 Coryell gas station, he had to fight the "Big " guys to produce his blend, and finally gave up the fight after a few years. Google Coryell, and it is a pretty interesting story.

I love looking at these old pictures. This is history, but how does it pertain to our hobby?
I don't see a Model A Ford. Exactly what brand of gasoline did this the station sell? How many pumps can you identify in the picture? How about what is on top of all the pumps, are they globes, or what? To the globe purest, if they were on the top of a gas pump (as shown) wouldn't they qualify as a "Globe?"
Wouldn't it be great if someone in Omaha would go out to this location and take a picture of what it looks like today?
Come on guys, find a picture like this, post it, and let us pick it go death. Looking at all the little details of these old stations will only broaden our knowledge of why and how they operated these stations.

Well it would be easier if some one from Lincoln would go to the site since that is where the station was.
You dont see a MODEL A FORD? What does that mean?
I do not see a MODEL B FORD either.

Don't be a Dick, Jack! According to The Book, the 6 sided Clear Visions were made in 1921 [most models were made for many years] & picture showing cars that are early 30's [aren't those '30-'31 Fords being fueled?]. Maybe Carl found the Globes in Grandpa's Barn! So, your saying this was possibly a Movie set?
Looks like a '30-'31 Model A, Randy.
