History Images of vintage gas stations ~ pre 65

I was perusing some of the photo's I have save over the years and being a deuce guy I had saved this image of a '32 coupe being serviced at a old station with visible gas pumps. HRP



Feel free to add any you might have,just keep it Hamb friendly. HRP

 

Always been a sucker for '50 Ford Coupes.

 

Ethanol isn't a new thing!

 

Me too,I've never owned one but it's on my list. HRP

 

Same here, Danny.

 

My mother used to stop at this ''fillin' station'' all the time, on Lombard St., Portland (St. Johns), Oregon when we visited my grandfather in the early 60's, who lived just around the corner....he knew the owner pretty well.

 

This is from the early 20's. My grandpa is in the center and his dad is on the right, doing the very first Captain Morgan pose.

 

I always liked this corner scene....I'd pay extra just to get gas here (Oak St. Louisville, KY 1927)

 

An Aetna station about a half mile from our house.

 

Cool photos of old gas stations are fun.,My Grandad ran a Flying A an I worked there/more played summers in the late 40s. This photo is what was built as a Gulf in the 1930s in artdeco style but became other brands over time. Mom n Dad got dishis n glass with fill ups here when I was a kid early 50s,this is in Miami Fla... Here is me an my hotrod, have been manytimes,my first fill up in my hot rod in 1959,an more then a few times over the passed few years.

 

Anyone out there know who made those funky whitewall a with their checkerboard look? Calling Corky Coker!

 

Remember the jingle "You can trust your car to the man that wears the star"? HRP

 

These are from my late mother in laws pictures.

One that used to be where my storage building is now. The building in the back ground still stands.

When I was about 8 my uncle had a gulf station & my job was to fill the oil bottles & place them on the island by the gas pumps.
I just sold my oil bottle collection with carrier, metal qt cans & oils sump with a pump that worked.
Back in the mid 70's while hunting in Dixie, Idaho I filled my truck up using a visible gas pump & the sidewalks were made of wooden planks. Had a pic but can't locate it tonight. Good ol windows 10

 

Does a vintage toy gas station count ? Sold at Texaco stations in 1961. Thanks for all your post, I really like this thread. And I hope that it keeps going. Ron...

 

Always loved this Gas station picture...

 

Wyandotte, Michigan

 

Grosse Ile, Mi

 

My first RPU was a parts chaser for a Veltex station in LA before we bought it. Had a big Veltex logo on the doors.

 

I worked briefly at a Sinclair station in my youth so Dino has always been a favorite of mine.

 

This station was on US 41 near Vinings, GA (just north of Atlanta) view looking north.

 

This one just closed down in our town this July. Got bought by a supermarket chain. I tried to get it preserved but there are too many corrupt politicians around. It'll probably get demolished, although there is still a chance the front half will be preserved. It'd make a lovely diner.
I've filled up so often here. I always filled up my antique cars here.

 

Uncles gas station. Standard oil.
Been trying to figure out what the sign at the bottom of the big window says?
You can see an outhouse to the right. 1928 or 29.

 

Another photo, same place. The muddy dirt road out front was paved 2 yrs later and became M -19.
The highway dept told my uncle that he needed to move the building back farther. He told them it was OK when he built it and if they wanted it moved they were going to have to do it.
So they did. The Sinclair pic is from the early 60s.

 

I took this picture while on vacation with my folks, back in 1956 when I was 10-years old. I think it was in New Mexico or maybe Arizona................
