Greg Cullinan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Pretty awesome. Thanks Richard. I like the uniforms,look a little like policemen pumping gas. And the fifth for the bottom where they built the building right around a tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardik Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 This really takes me back. Yes, I was one of those dapper young men in the snappy uniform who came out to your car and pumped your gas, washed your windows, checked your tires and offered to check your oil. Times have sure changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 People , Art Lacy's Bomber station is in BIG TROUBLE . I was sent a report that money to keep just the airplane from crashing is fast drying up . This national treasure is really in serious need of a private enmity to keep it up in the air .............. Ya'll can see a lot more in my facebook entries . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watertown Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Here's a few shots I took on a Sunday morning a few years back of former gas haunts here in Sacramento. Edited January 26, 2014 by Watertown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afxmustang Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Very interesting. I used to buy gas at the Sunoco station pictured. It was in Dearborn, Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzoferrari Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Awesome collection of photos ~ Thanks so much for sharing ! The "Car Parking Tower" is fascinating , don't like its chances in an earthquake - although maybe it would be the only thing left standing ! Being only 29 I can only dream of days when service stations were like this. I still laugh when I watch the Three Stooges short that features them working in a station, always shouting ~ Super Service Super Service !

jaydar Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wouldn't you love a complete 1/25 gas station for a diorama? I am sure many of you can scratch build one, bur for me I would need one with "...some assembly required"! I know you can buy pieces such as pumps and such I would like a city one and a country one.
