I'm wanting to put up a replica porcelain station on my property in southern Illinois. Jarvis found this vacant Texaco station in southern Indiana. The panels weren't for sale, but I could have had them in exchange for demolishing the the building (including concrete floor) and the big canopy and pump islands. There would have been a lot of red tape involved with performance bonds, etc. It certainly wasn't cost effective either. Demo and disposal would have been thousands of dollars. You can probably figure out the rest of the story. They wouldn't sell me the panels, but the paid someone to tear the building down.

Here's a 1930's era station located in Oakland, California. It will be demolished soon.

This former Humble station has found new life as a used car lot in Logansport, Indiana.

This Indian Gas station has been posted on this site before. It deserves another look!

I took this picture in southern Illinois last year.

It doesn't get much better than this. Here's a porcelain Sinclair station from the mid-1950's.

Here is an old stone Mobil station in Iowa.

This has to be the ultimate porcelain station.

This station is located at Pinehurst on the little Salmon river in Idaho, 1945. Was owned by my uncle. Richard

Rio Grande station in Ventura, Ca
What is the make & year of car in garage ?
Found the mistake, was saved @ a higher resolution.

Hey Doc, where is that station w/ 36B's ?
Dick

DICK, THAT CLASSY BACKYARD STATION I BELIEVE BELONGS TO OLDGAS MEMBER RICHARD RUDOLPH!
TAKE IT FROM THERE!

I WAS SO BUSY FIXING THOSE GLOBES SO YOU COULD SEE THEM BETTER, THAT I WASN'T EVEN PAYING NO ATTENTION TO THE TOK 36B'S

DOC @ TAG/WEST

This station was located south of Pendleton OR, it burnt down a couple of years ago. It was located about five miles up a step grade hence the name. Richard

Here are a couple pictures of an old Texaco Station I posted before, but thought it was worth another look.

Hi Scott, I was searching for some info on White Eagle statues at a museum in Augusta, KS and found this pic. I have a statue like the one front & center. Pumps are Tok 34's? The center one w/display case. I hope there's enough detail left after copy and scans to post to COTW Filling Station Pics.
thanks David

Hawkeye Oil Co. northwest Iowa.

This was the First Speedway Station in Canon City, Colorado..1928. The building is still here & is now an Audiology off ice.

Just thought I'd add a couple of british stations,most gas stations here had pumps selling different brands at the same outlet,with the pump painted any colour with just the globe showing the brand name.It was the 40's before the corporate image started to appear.
The second picture from 1938 shows from left to right,Power,Cleveland Discol,National Benzole Mixture,Shell,Essolene and Cleveland Guaranteed.Also note the globes mounted along the wall,,,these wouldn't last too long now days!

I want to Thank Gaspumpgary for posting stuff from brentwood essex england... it's neat to see stuff that if you wouldn't have posted we would have never had seen!

Do you still have this photo? Could you re post it?
Thanks.

Ashland station that I have posted before.
