And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

It's a Fokker F32 of which only ten were built. Fokker was one of the few makers that raked the windshields forward creating that odd angle. Take a close look behind the pumps and you can see the pusher engine and propeller. Al_in_Ottawa
The F-32's were grounded and this one was used to make a gas station by Bob Spencer - you can read about the gas station at: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/bobs-air-mail-service-station-a-man-a-plan-and-a-really-big-fokker.70880/
Lots of additional pictures, including some down in the comments sections.
Also the Fokker F-32 were built in America (east cost somewhere, they had at least two factories) by an American subsidiary of the Dutch Fokker company.
