I tried to post a comment on this site, but it doesn't work.

These type of websites pop up every so often. They find a few pictures of a service station and create a site. The picture shown on this site should be researched, what year is the car, when was the ice cream company in business, etc.?

I have a file with over 2000 pictures of service stations from 1908 to 1970. The space is over 40 gigs.

Hopefully, someone will take on this project and post all these pictures to the web.

Jack, I tried to do some research on the photo, but the resources are thin. The car is early 1920s, but because details can't be seen, it's hard to pin it down to an exact year (1920-1922 range is most likely). I came up fairly empty on the ice cream. That's why sometimes research via crowdsourcing works best!
