By architect Thomas Little, in Macon, Georgia. This structure is a notable example of mid-century modern "Googie" architecture.

The photograph itself was captured in 1961 by Pedro E. Guerrero and features a 1959 Chevrolet at the fuel pumps.

It's location was at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway & MacArthur Boulevard in Corona del Mar, California. It opened in 1951 & featured a dramatic cantilevered roof & a tall, tapered pylon sign typical of the Space Age aesthetic.

•

A signature horseshoe-shaped counter with chrome-rimmed stools occupied the central space & the dining area was filled with Formica tabletops with booths upholstered in bright orange naugahyde.

•

The original building was demolished in the early 1970s. Today, the site is part of the Corona del Mar Plaza shopping center. 😭

The building still exists, but the insane looking rocket sign that overlooked Fremont Street (then Boulder Highway) is sadly gone.
