Well, the last two on the side can be interpreted as "Barbecue" and "7UP." I'm curious to know what's up with the swastika on the front.

 

Not a swastika symbol(backwards) Early religious symbol(Hebrew)??? Probably 1000 years before Hitler?? Pete

 

Would love to have those rims

 

It's not backwards and it was a widely used symbol going back 12,000 years until Hitler used it. It could be turned around for a different meaning in religious uses but hitler stood it on end, with the same rotation as on that shack.
Before WWII there was a Swastika Lodge here in the San Bernardino Mountains.

 

Maybe cattle brands??

 

Looks like you're right. I just clicked on the link dddenny posted, "hamburger stand with cattle brands".

 

Wow! You learn something new everyday here on the HAMB. Thanks for the update guys.

 

....... Answer: And right you are, it's a 1937 Plymouth Sedan.

 

Could be a coupe....

 

Native Americans use the reverse swastika symbol as a sort of good luck symbol. I have a vintage Navajo bracelet that is stamped with it, it's been around for centuries and used by Greeks, Celts, Hindus and Buddhists to name a few. The Nazis co-opted it and kind of wrecked it for everyone else.

 

Looks like the Grapevine with its famous "suicide" passing lane.

 

Look ma, no roof!
