I see two other problems:

1. There's an extendable oil drain tank in the service bay, but there's no

room to hoist a tall old 1930's automobile up above it so's you could
drain 
the oil; specially with the service bay door folding into the area where
the 
car would have to go if it *would* fit...  (And if you drain the oil by 
crawling under the car to get to the drain plug, then why on Earth would
you 
need an upright extendable oil draining tank anyway?)

2. I once managed a string of company-owned gas stations for 
Atlantic-Richfield, and I'm here to tell you that the only gas station
that 
was ever that neat and clean was one that had opened the very same day. It

needs weathering and grime!
