so i just got the keys to a 1920's filling station that was in lowry city mo. and moved to my town in 1996 at the grounds at the Western Missouri Antique Tractor & Machinery Association , the old man that is over it is not doing so hot so i took it over....

i was given free rain to get it up to the point of a asset instead of storage..

came with a lot of cool stuff inside.. what im looing for from you guys is help deciding what to do with it useing the stuff inside and out.. like colors and things...




the 66 sine is 2 sided , so i think it will go on the post to the side...









some stuff inside..

What ever you do, don't "Clutter " it to the point where it looks "Junky" . I have seen that in doing so called "Restored stations and it serves NO PURPOSE WHAT so ever . Set a theme , in you're case , Phillips Oil . Gather everthing you can for an EARLY phillips retail outlet and do yer homework as to color . If yer not sure , ask one of us here .

I agree the lubster fits & the pump,the transfer cans belong on a bulk truck. Only thing your short out front is water bucket and one more pump. Lubster was stored a lot of times against front wall. But what do I know as that station is way before my time. Colors can't help you with.
Will this stuff not be stolen if its not bolted down,I hope not.

o ya please help me ! lol, i have no clue what to do, but i must say its a mix of stuff and it will stay that way , the only reason it has a 66 sine is that it was a 66 station when it was in use, the in side is going to be all oil and gas related showcase...

The globe is from Standard Oil, and I see several Atlas items inside the building which was Standard oil products. Also, the transfer can on the left is a Standard Oil can, not sure of the others. Just glad to see another old station being preserved.

The guy in the chair don't look like he's feeling so good! LOL

Inventory everything first of course. If you are using a 'mix of stuff' why not put them in different sections (if there is room) with a blurb about each group with maybe some photos (like a pic of a bulk truck to lead any group into gas station history, rather then them just seeing a bunch of assorted stuff.

If you want to give visitors an 'experience' perhaps keep the stuff that's a certain era? Just a suggestion...

Don't forget that 'yard' art.
