I remember going to those in the 1950s.

 

Pickup looks like an about 1934 Ford. Two-door sedan I think is a Packard? (Please someone correct me if I am wrong?) (Correction, Oldsmobile!)

The two-door sedan is a 1938 Oldsmobile Six, the lack of a trunk makes it not a Touring Sedan.  Oldsmobile placed their taillights high on the body at the end of the body side moldings for 1937-'38.  Apparently by the late 1930's, the population had come to think that the placement of the taillights defined where the car ended.  More than a few Oldsmobiles were involved in rear end collisions which cause complaints to GM about those taillight placements. For 1939, the taillights were mounted on the trunk surface prominently at the rear limit of the body other than the bumper.

 

The Sprouse - Reitz Store, 5-10-15 cent store is a great example of Streamline Moderne architecture.
