Yes, the Trout Park area one does (finally!), but the McLean Blvd. doesn't. All I remember was a Shell station whose "S" fell off the building. Wildly amusing to a kid!

The one near I-90 is the one across from Trout Park. The one on McLean Blvd. was near the Boulevard tap, across the street from the shopping center that had the Zayre store.

Hey guys...
I won't even pretend to know when the "Smith Oil" days were, just don't know the history, but I had a brother who worked at a Sunoco Station on the West side of Rockford IL, a very close guess would be probably 65' to 67' or very close to that. Always wanted to find a photo of that station but never have been able to...

Coldpizza, very cool picture!

HI Neatoldstuff, I worked at the Smith oil stations @ Rockton and Auburn also the Clover leif and in Beloit WI.
All in the late 1960's. Would sure be nice to find some photos of these and others in the Rockford area.
