Where was this Sunoco Gas Station?

Jim Morrow, a Detroit Memories subscriber,
sent this photo he'd found on this website.
He was curious to know where this Sunoco was located.
I posted it on the Detroit Memories Facebook page
and asked for help.
The second post came from Michael Meredith,
who, we believe, got it spot-on.
See what you think: Google Street View.

    I am not sure, but it looks like this was on the NE corner of Michigan Ave. and Oakman Blvd. in Dearborn.

    Wow! That picture resonates with me -- I'm a kid again.

    I believe Anonymous is correct. I checked Google Earth, and you can see the Edison tower lead that paralels the RR line.

    Don't know the location, but at 26 cents a gallon, I would love to find it. I would be happy to find a location where it's $2.60 a gallon!

    I think the person that said Michigan Avenue in Oakwood is correct that looks like where Miller Road crosses
