Description
Colorized photo from 1938, May
Original title: Halfway bus station between Memphis and St. Louis, New Madrid, Missouri
Photographer: Russell Lee
Location: 298 S St Joe Dr, Park Hills, Missouri
One of the best things about colorizing images from the 1940's is that the buildings are often still around. This particular one isn't, but there were a few I was able to look at. Most are round, have a tall sign. Some have white others blue with a red accent on some.
The bus is a model 753, made in 1937 it was a bit tricky to find as the different models really differ in the paint job over the fenders. I couldn't find a rear view, or if those other plates had a certain color. But it was a blue bus with white accents.
The gas pumps are around, but in pieces only. So a globe here, a base there. Those should be the colors.
I made this image from the inside a while ago, its also has a half-way title, just as retro inside.
The clouds were like that, and it was an overall a dark gloomy day, but dry, which is good, because that dirt would be yucky otherwise.
