Group of cars waiting in line to buy gasoline at local service station. During the Iranian Revolution, Iran had ceased its export of oil causing prices to skyrocket. We were caught in a crunch that became a regular part of our lives. It appears to be a Mobil service station in Arcadia. The first four cars in line are the: brand new Ford Mustang (1979 model), Chevrolet Chevette (?), Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Chevrolet Camaro.
