You are looking at Lloyd Hardwick standing beside a 1954 Kaiser Darrin sports car. The photo was taken during one of the early Bluffton car shows. Hardwick's Marathon station was located where the A to Z Meats is today.

The building was modified and no longer has the "drive through" effect to fill your car tank at 30 cents a gallon or less.
