A Dodge, a Chevy, a Plymouth, think that really old one is a Buick(?) And across the aisle a Ford.
I may be wrong but gawd I was young - and yes we would take the occasional hike to Kinney shoes.

measured your foot and went to a back room. Then came back from the back room with the correct size of shoe for you to try on.

(1,309 posts)19. Was it was Kinney Shoes who had
the foot x-ray machine in their stores. I remember being a kid and my parents taking me to buy shoes and the shoe salesman had me put my foot in the machine so he and my father could look at it and decide which shoe would be best for me. It was a gimmick, but it worked.
