The sedan with the stone guard has a 1938 Georgia plate...

Looks like a 35 or 36 four door touring sedan sitting next to the garage.

Joe: "What kind of bees hang around gas stations?"

Moe: "Esso bees."

Old joke my dad told me in about 1957.

Looks like it, but the gas filler in on the wrong side. I don't know what it is. Perhaps, someone will know.

Perhaps the film negative was flipped.

I must be doing it wrong... I can't pump gas like that. I put my elbow on the cowl and stand on my tip-toes and make sure it stops within an inch of the top. Know what happens when a full tank sits in the sun?

One benefit of being tall for a Model A owner, you don't have to stand on 'tippy toes' to fuel your car you just stand there, and fill it! not a big deal!

I don't think so. The writing on the pump globes, license plate, etc., would be backwards, too.
