I love the gas station scene with Burt Lancaster in “The Killers” (1946)
Sorry re "Leave it to Heaven -" did you add that one later or did I (most likely) just miss it the first time I looked at your post (as, had I seen it, I wouldn't have posted it)?
"Dark Victory" is a really good movie that, IMHO, seems to get no notice, but is well done.
I do remember those kits! Hubley branched out from making metal cap guns, as I recall. The car kits were more expensive than the plastic ones, and I didn't know anyone else who'd built even one.I made a lot of those ⇧ and also, do you remember, Hubley? They made metal car model kits which were much more substantial (and expensive) than the all-plastic ones.

I made this exact model ⇩ (didn't have the fancy base though)

I disliked most of the cars I saw on the street at a young age because of the evil expressions on their faces. I always figured if Satan drove a car it would be a 1950s Buick.
That's interesting! My mother, born in 1954, is still afraid of the under-wrapping grille of the 1950 Buick. When she was a little tyke the barber near her parents' house owned one and she was terrified to walk by the grille, which was right at eye level back then.
In the army, you paint everything: trees, curbs, rocks, you name it. Whitewash. And that's true for every army in the world.Ah, painting the pump island. One of my many teenage jobs. Devoe Industrial Enamel, grey on top, white on the sides. And don't slop it onto the driveway.
I wonder if they ever thought of having a "Mr. Jack Handle" contest?
