Judging from the three vehicles at the pumps, we'd say this photo is from 1959. These look like a 1958 Corvair convertible, a 1958 Oldsmobile and a 1959 Mercury.
We can't read the price of gas on the pump, but it was probably 30 cents a gallon. This classic Ada "filling station" photo is part of Ada Public Library collection.
