This is a very cool gas station.

"The Union 76 gas station at the corner of Crescent Drive and Little Santa Monica Boulevard in Beverly Hills is a true icon of Mid-Century Modernism, recognized everywhere as one of the highest examples of Googie architecture in the world.
It was designed by architect Gin Wong of Pereira and Associates and completed in 1965. The design came earlier, though, and was meant for a very different location: in 1960, Wong designed the building to be part of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Its futuristic style was meant to complement the famous Theme Building. But since it didnât work out with the airportâs plan, this amazing building ended up as a gas station in Beverly Hills.
Most gas stations have a canopy, but only this one has a hugely swooping, curved canopy reminiscent of a giant parabolic spaceship.
The canopy perches above the nondescript rectangular building containing snacks and a cashier station, spreads out over the pumps, and lifts its angled corners to the sky. It is anchored by two large supports that descend to earth at the pumps.
The edges of the roof are decorated with a frieze of simple squares, and its underside is illuminated by long rows of shimmering fluorescent lights that follow the curve above.
It is no exaggeration to say the Beverly Hills Union 76 is the best gas station in Southern California."

I was lucky enough to reserve this back in July 2020, minutes after Ford revealed it. I picked it up about two weeks ago for MSRP, and ended up just financing it.

Driving out of state visitors past this station is fun. They always freak out from the prices they charge per gallon.

I believe I took this when the car was in the lowest setting. Looking a bit better in normal height.
Paired our X5 45e with a 330e, deal is not replicable at the moment so if you ask for my dealer info, do not expect the same discount as they have a backlog of 330e orders and mostly sell them at MSRP at this point. Mine was ordered back in June:
MSRP: $47,730
Discount: 4,773 and no dealer handling fee, which usually runs about $600-700 range here in CO
OL Code: 1,000
APR Credit: 1,000
Loyalty: 750
CO State Tax Credit: 2,500
Federal Tax Credit: 5,836
Net Price: $31,871 or appx 33% off MSRP

Just picked up this GLS63 beast for my wife yesterday. It was a custom order placed with our dealer back in December 2020 as her GLS550 lease was set to expire in August 2021. We endured countless production delays, so we had extended her lease with MBFS. We purchased the new ride at MSRP (~$136K) which I perceive to be a good deal given this overheated market. Since V8âs and AMGs are being suspended for 2022, I can potentially sell it, but given her smile, I donât see that happening anytime soon. She will never be late taking our kids to school again.
