Let's start things out with a very cool Chevron station spotted by oldgasser Jack R.






Thanks Jack!

Here's a pretty neat old Marathon station out in rural Indiana. Pumps are Tokheim Interceptors.




Also somewhere in Indiana is this neat old cottage style station. It's still in pretty decent shape after all these years - I'd like to restore one similar to this someday...

This neat old station looks like it could still hold some goodies inside...



Neat old brick station:



Here's a modified Pure station, now a liquor store. Sadly, these are getting harder and harder to find.

Here's one that I'm not sure about. The building, now a liquor store (recurring theme?) looks, in some ways, like a filling station.



Check out the star in the brick on the gable...


Could it be a Texaco or White Star??

Wes, that's probably a 22" Texaco stained glass sign. I'd go back and check it out.
