This station is in nice shape -- it looks like it could have been a DX to me.  Here's a very derelict station down in Tennessee.

This old Pure station on Route 41 in TN is just as cool inside as out. When I walked in, there were people eating home-cooked food at a table in a small dining area, and it smelled awesome. The cashier was very friendly (but said there wasn't anything old around...), and I bought Sunkist in a glass bottle out of the cooler!  Nice brick station in IL: Sorry for the framing of this shot - it was taken out the passenger window at speed...

These two are in Raymond, Illinois. The body shop looks to me like it may have been a car dealership back in the day.

My wife is not very fond of my new addiction (Hi my name is mike and I am a gasoholic) . So I was suprised when she shared this picture with me of what I think was an old gas station in Loup City, Nebraska. Sound like the property is now a place for someone to store their toys.
