You don't usually see wall art with anything other than A/B/Es.

I like the subject matter meaning the old station and the cars obviously but not the look art form or whatever you call it the artist is using
 
The C-bodies could be added later digitally to an already existing poster which could also have been an old retouched photograph. The Oldsmobile lurking out the shop has a different and Fitting scale in relation to the gas Station.
 
Also my impression. The creator had good taste in cars but lacked business sense depicting vehicles generally not well known.
 
I like it. It's nice to see a C-Body appearing in artwork. I think that the grey car isn't located/positioned right and is out of scale. The black one looks fine to me.

:)
 
Its intentionally done as a collage .. magazine cut outs pasted together. The scale is off on purpose and the cars are b/w whereas the bldg is color

I'm pretty sure the building is different images put together
 
That picture has some of the design elements that I will use if my neighbor ever decides to sell me the lot to put a building on. There are alot of hurdles to overcome but I have a 40's era service staion look in mind but primary use will be car storage.

Remember the white porcelain panels the service stations of the 50's were built with...... I always thought those panels would make a great interior wall in the shop.
