Here's a few photos of some gas related stuff I just saw while watching the Twilight Zone Episode: The Hitchhiker

Brand of oil is Chickering. It looks like they just painted over a pennzoil rack and the other oil rack looks like maybe Chevron.

I caught an episode that had a Wayne 40 on it. Don't remember which episode. Brady

It looks like the "Dependable Gorman Plugs" sign in the 2nd pic is a painted over Champion Spark Plugs sign

Good eye, you nailed it. Pennzoil and Chevron. I remember Dave Gil posted on here once that a friend had a oil cabinet or rack return painted after loaning or renting to a local film production.

Was named Chickering, probably after the young 'chick' in the film!

"Going my way?"

Inger Stevens was the actress in that episode...

Ah, yes. Still traveling after she had died in a wreck but didn't know it. Not a necrophiliac, but she looked pretty fine for a dead girl. Um, some of you did notice the girl in the photo, right?

Just out of curiosity how do you capture the high resolution screen shots ?

I use my iPad. I was watching it on Netflix and if you hit the power button and the home button together, you can take a screenshot of whatever you want.

If you notice in the last photo where it says gas eats just ahead, I pushed the button a little to early and two scenes combined. That's why the gas eats sign looks like its floating in the sky.
