A few old gas stations that I came across while traveling in west Texas. The first pic shows a sign that I suspect is a Cities Service; collectors of that brand please correct me if I am wrong. The last pic is for you Coke guys.....more to come.

the rest of the pics

Yeah, this Coke head is lovin' that sign. great patina and lack of illumination....a true survivor. How wide/tall would you say that is?

Other pics are awesome as well....keep 'em comin'!

Love that coca cola sign, had a large one here in my town ,the people took it down and said they did not know what too do with it, It was 70 years old and I ask why not put it back ,not sure what happened to it.long gone

A friend of mine knows I like pumps and globes, and sends me a picture whenever she finds one.
Last wekk she took this shot in Tideswell, Derbyshire, England.

Both stations located in Tx.

All 3 stations in Tx.

seen along the way....

Cut through the big town of Barnsdall the other day. Anyone here know Jack? if it's as cool on the inside as the out, It would be great to poke around in.

Jay, havent been there but would like to visit some day. Jack

well Jack we have another trip to make now.

That is Jack Gamble's home and station. He graduated HS from Barnsdall with my dad in 1956. (so he is old, LOL). The station was originally Conoco and my father tells stories or getting a "rationed" soda pop there during WW2 as a child. My father grew up about 100 yards down the alley from the Conoco station.

Regarding the signs. Not much if anything inside. The 50-75 signs outside is pretty much what is there.

Saw what I thought were two old gas stations on Main St. in Sainte Genevieve, MO. After I talked to a local, I found out the cafe with the Fire Station sign really was an old firehouse. Could of swore it was a gas station. Still kind of cool.

The Hot Cars used car lot station makes me wonder if there is a Sinclair sign under that "Look! sign?

Jim,

It may have been a fire station, but it was probably a gas station before that.

Stopped by the place in the top photo (which is the same as the one on the bottom) and knocked on the door but no answer. Cool looking place and it's right on the side of I-35 between Waco and Austin. FINALLY I recognize a place I've seen!!!
