I'm wanting to put up a replica porcelain station on my property in southern Illinois. Jarvis found this vacant Texaco station in southern Indiana. The panels weren't for sale, but I could have had them in exchange for demolishing the the building (including concrete floor) and the big canopy and pump islands. There would have been a lot of red tape involved with performance bonds, etc. It certainly wasn't cost effective either. Demo and disposal would have been thousands of dollars. You can probably figure out the rest of the story. They wouldn't sell me the panels, but the paid someone to tear the building down.

Here's a 1930's era station located in Oakland, California. It will be demolished soon.

This former Humble station has found new life as a used car lot in Logansport, Indiana.

This Indian Gas station has been posted on this site before. It deserves another look!

I took this picture in southern Illinois last year.

It doesn't get much better than this. Here's a porcelain Sinclair station from the mid-1950's.

Here is an old stone Mobil station in Iowa.

This has to be the ultimate porcelain station.

This station is located at Pinehurst on the little Salmon river in Idaho, 1945. Was owned by my uncle. Richard

Rio Grande station in Ventura, Ca
What is the make & year of car in garage ?
Found the mistake, was saved @ a higher resolution.

Here's an abandoned Keystone station in WV.

This was originally a Mobilgas station and is currently being remodeled as an automotive repair shop.
