Looks like a leatherback Victoria closest to the camera. Spare is at an angle and the rear apron look Victoria.

Looks like the Victoria might be a little saggy in the wood department.Is the car behind the pump even a Ford?I can't tell if I'm looking at the ends of the gas tank in the rear,on a Ford,or the ends of some longitudal springs on some other flavor car.

The car in the background is a 1932 - 1934 Ford Coupe, and the car in the foreground is a 1931 Model A Ford Victoria leather-back.

Times have changed. The gas station has been replaced by a 24 pump station with a huge candy and soda pop store, including undigestible hot food and undrinkable hot coffee.

In many markets the profit on gasoline is small compared to the net revenue from the convenience store.
Just think of the potential with electric recharging if the vehicle owners are waiting around for 20+ minutes.

IMO, all coffee is undrinkable. I have never drunk a cup of it - even the smell makes me nauseous.

Now, there's a hat!

Not one of those little howdy-hats the wannabe cowboys wear.
