1953 Ada

Here's a classic American scene from 1953. It's Long's Marathan, 220 S. Main St., Ada. It offered B.F. Goodrich Tires, AAA Service and of course, Marathon gas.

Staff include Ray Long, Ray McClure, Wayne Kimble, Robert Hooper, Robert Shields, Robert Swager, James Micheli, Harold Musser and Jim Barton.

That looks like a 1952 Nash Rambler getting its tank filled. And, that classic car on the left could be a 1949 or 1950 Packard. The Long's Marathon service vehicle appears to be a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet pickup.

Other observations from Icon viewers are encouraged.
