Posted by Fred Steiner on November 14, 2016 - 9:21am

Here's the Habegger’s filling station on North Main Street, across from what is now the Chinese restaurant.

Richard Jordan sent this classic photo to The Icon.

According to Rudi Steiner, the car under the canopy is a 1930-31 Model A Ford roadster, The car with the two gentlemen standing against it is a 1932 Plymouth roadster.

Additional observations:

• Richard Jordan: The man in white might be Mary Ann Jordan’s uncle, Myron “Mike” Reichenbach. The question is, “Did the Habegger station ever have a canopy?”
