Vintage gas station Pictures

If I were in the gas station business, and there were a lot of classic cars in my area, I might be tempted to go 'retro' with the design of the station and the services provided - FULL service, have decent mechanic on staff, have an old-time soda machine, etc......

 

I've had that idea also, except, a separate section for gas sales, and another section of various pumps from over the decades that people can use to take pics with their older vehicles. I did that at a station in the Idaho panhandle years ago with my Ranchero; the pumps were '70s-era Tokheims, IIRC.

 

The idea certainly has merit Krash. It could even become a destination of sorts for car clubs and enthusiasts.

 

Vintage person impersonators would make the idea more authentic

 

Watering the tire won't make it grow

 

Here is the window from my building when it was used as a service station. It was also a Nash dealer in the 30's

 

VERY good to have you back posting, Stickman! Nice garage! (I saw the pics on the other thread, too...)

 

Yeah, I'm totally envious.
