There is a 1954 Buick in it.

It is in the link Dave Brunker provided, but it you move closer to it in Street View it changes to a sign for the Timberline Tire Factory.

If you look just beyond the Buick sign, you’ll see the peak of a white house (with the chimney on the side of the house) in what is now a used car lot. That house was moved in the late 1950′s and is now located on the corner of 42nd and Stark.
