I have a 58 willeys from Colorado that is nearly restored and I would like to know if there were any gas companies native to that area or nearby.

I think Husky had their main office in Denver for awhile until they split for Canada. But they were basically from Cody WY.

I believe Frontier Oil Company was based out of Denver Colorado and or Cheyenne Wyoming. I know Beeline was near there also. Maybe Utah. I can look on one of my cans when I go home and see exactly what they say. Ted

I think Power lube was out of there also , but I told him to contact some of the guys in colectors and ask them ,sinclair was in Utah ,but so was others , I just don't know which. good luck.

Colorado was home to Powerine..Hortons..Sommers..Paramount..Speedway..Fargo..Oriental..Gold State..Navy..Red Dot..Cliff Brice..Seigal..Autolene..Split Second..Motoroyal..Automatic Oil & Gas..Gasamat..Tucker Oil..Gates Oil..and a few other smaller ones. Conoco had its beginnings in Colorado in the late 1800's & left in 1929 after being bought by Marland. Frontier also as has been mentioned. Like in most states..by the early 60's most all of these companies were gone.

Good work Speedway, you did good .I'm copying that .thanks .
