Had this picture given to me by a older individual . I tried to get a clear pic but couldn't. It is a Sinclair station that was and still is the chevy dealer in Fredericktown mo . This was taken in the mid 1930s from what I was told . That's 48" Sinclair oils sign on the right , chevy sign of some sort on the roof and a larger HC on the left. Think of how many little towns in america had these forgotten places . No wonder this stuff still turns up if you think of the decades that have passed and all the other little towns in america that had the same stuff.

Love the reflection in the window.
Awesome Moxie thermo as well.

Ole Floyd has it going on. 6 Gals for only a buck! Must be some real lookers.

I wonder if he painted over the oil rack sign to make that.
Nice Sinclair Credit sign and great signs in background.
