It appears to be a dam. The photo was taken by a professional photographer, Dave Gelinas. If you look through Flickr he's taken many cool car related photos over the years.

Google Earth is really cool. The software lets you look around a location as if you were standing there. Unfortunately it looks like Peterson's Texaco along with several other buildings in that photo are no longer.

Maybe someone eventually figured that out and that's why it's not there anymore. The gas station and other buildings, I mean.

I remember my brother stopping at a gas station driving me home from school and we put 13 cents of gas in our dad's 55 F-100.

How about this cool AD!

Market Street San Francisco!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Agreed! What a strange scene behind the truck. Is that a scrap yard? Industrial dumping ground? Very strange...

A few more?

The 2001 movie "Vanilla Sky" recreated the famous Bob Dylan album cover with Tom Cruise, and with an AD truck in the background.

Look at all the passenger cars pulling boats...

Nowadays those would all be light duty pickups or SUVs.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

so brian, I guess you have to jack up your truck to fit in?

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

LOL nope, mine will be lowered. There are a LOT more vintage cars here on the road than in the SF bay area that's for sure! I see a cool old Mustang or truck or vintage Corvette on the road all the time here!
