    Hey, Leadslead and I were discussing old service stations, and we got onto paint and tile colors; what was the interior color scheme on Sinclair's stations back then? I think green and white, but I've never walked into one.

    Yes. They were the Dino green and white/Cream colored. I remember some had like red accents.

    My first part time job at 16 while in High School was Texaco. Still had the 40's- 50's style porcelain panels and the old style round Texaco sign. Three pumps and 2 garage bays. I ran the place myself at $1.50 an hour and I could work on my car all I wanted, as long as it didn't interfere with my work. Not bad after just giving up a paper route that paid $8.00 a week, lol.

    The '56's look brand new. Strange no Drivers Side Mirror on the wagon.
