Hi, I’m restoring a 1953 AMOCO station in South Carolina. It sits on a corner with two facades covered in porcelain panels and a corner tower vs the usual location. Would love any tips or advice you have, like what color green did they use for the trim? Also if you know of similar with the corner tower I’d love to see pics. Thanks!

Heck of a big undertaking! Best of luck with this project. Don't know where in S. Carolina this is but I hope it is not in a hoodrat, KFC, purple drank infested area or all your hard work will be destroyed by thieves and vandals in very short order...

It is easy to understand your passion for this restoration. Can the area Chamber of Commerce, old car clubs or technical college students in the auto technician program be of assistance and support

Looks like a fairly well in tacked station. Good luck!

Some groups have offered help but I am trying to get as much info as possible to make sure we stay accurate to the building and it’s history before I turn volunteers loose on it.
