Remembering Old Gas Stations

[66340SEDAN]

I love old gas stations, wether they are restored, original, abandoned or just old pictures, they played a major role in the automobile and I felt they deserved a thread....enjoy :happy1:

BTW, please post any pics you might have of stations for fuel related Petrolia :glasses7:

Sorry no pictures but there is a old gas station on RT 23 in WV that the pumps only go up to 99.9 cents per gallon so they still sell the gas by the qt.

Can't have a thread like this one without some pics of the Frank Loyd Wright station in Cloquet, MN!

Some of those really take me back. Especially the Shell pic, who doesn't remember when there was one in most towns, with 26 cent a gallon gas.

Aahhhhhhh, the good ole days.

Very cool thread! I've posted this pic before, but it fits in this thread too! It's a picture I took with my cell phone of a photograph I saw hanging on a customers wall..

Wish I had better pics....but the one that stands out the most in my memory as a little kid was the giant 76 ball from Union...there was one here in town and I wish I could remember where it was.....not sure if it rotated or not...but it was the full ball :glasses7:

Here are some :happy1:

My friend sent me this one because he knows I worked at a Standard station back in the late 70's. It's the station he worked at across town, and the Charger would have been pretty new at the time. I wish I could find a picture of my old station. Spent many hours up there wrenchin' on cars.

Here's a couple in my area. Both are museums. tmm

You need to add a touch of sepia to those pics to age them, slightly.

...and, perhaps get a mid 1960's license plate for photographs, too.

Good thought Frank. I have some old plates and the camera on sepia setting would be fun.

Vinsetta Garage has to be one of my favorite stations. It is in Berkley, mi and was closed a few years ago and turned into a restaurant. it was one of the oldest operating service stations in the country when it closed.

I used to work at a SOHIO gas station in like 1972-1973 and this is a shirt from those GOOD times when I worked there. My boss was a great guy. I remember having to tell people we could only sell them a few gallons because of gas rationing at one point while working there.
The shirt was then used by a girl scout troop with my girls to do a project after that, hence the drawing on it. LOL

Sorry though, I don't know how to upload a picture off the net so I had to copy and paste an address to station pictures.
