I will be traveling to St Louis to pick up 44 to Tulsa then onto 75 south. Does anyone know of any Petro places, to look, buy or trade along this route, just curious. What I would like to find is a 14 ft long 2pc Sinclair sign, for a reasonable amount, but would look at anything else.

THERE IS A PLACE ABOUT 5 MILES EAST OF ROLLA MO. CALLED RT.66 MOTERS. ITS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF I-44. I THINK THE GUY'S NAME IS WAYNE. HE HAD THE SINCLAIR SIGN YOUR LOOKING FOR ABOUT 8 WEEKS AGO. DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S ASKING, OR IF HE STILL HAS IT.

I have a couple of things in Durant, OK (off 75 south).

I have a large Conoco sign in the pole still, a Mobilgas Shield, a beat up Amlico sign and a few others. Send an email if interested...

Saw quite a few joints along 44 in Missouri with petrol stuff for sale/show. Keep your eyes peeled on both sides of the road.

Lookup SECOND TIME AROUND in Springfield, Mo. Can't remember the street, but it is a main North/South, just east of 65 hiway to Branson [close to the water tower]. Also lots of antique stores in Ozark on 65 South & Bolivar on 13 North about 28 miles of Springfield.

Stop at LAMBERT'S [Eastside of 65 S.]for some THROW'D ROLLS while in Springfield.

It's on the east side of Glenstone, about 2 to 3 miles south of I-44.
