Description
Shell gas station and El Vaquero drive-in market. Two gasoline pumps are on an island, one with a cylinder top and one with a globe. The gasoline kiosk is close to the curb. The L-shaped market has folding doors that are open, exposing the interior completely. Signs state "open nite and day". A large advertisement for "Challenge Butter" is on the side of the market. It has just rained.
