I'm adding onto my existing garage (50X50) and would like the front to resemble an old garage or gas station. Does anyone have any pics or know of a good site?

Bryant, Check out Gary Dryes Station/country store he built on his property.

Hi Bryant,
I am doing the same thing, and my first choise was the gasoline brand. I choose Mobilgas (mid to late 50')which narrows the scope a bit.
I have bought a couple of books about Mobil and gas stations and always keep my eyes open to pictures on the Net. I found thebooks here at Oldgas' connection to Amazon.
This is a nice one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0879389451/primarilypetroliA/

Webers in Ft Worth has many nice older photos available to look at and for sale: http://www.weberspump.com/acatalog/Products_Nostalgic_Photos_21.html

What time period are you thinking of? This also has a lot of impact, since it affects the architecture, choise of pumps, signs etc.
Good luck with your project!
Claes
