Old gas stations

Not sure if you can see a Facebook video (and I don't know how to save / share it otherwise). Nun at a gas station in Cuba or Sullivan, Missouri in 1957 (on Route 66). Nice Corvette in there!

Not a fan of the green color, but the design is cool.

I bet his buddies back at the grease pit give him all kinds of grief for wearing those pointy-toe shoes.

Old Gulf (I'm thinking) in Tallahassee; I took a few shots of it several years ago, but it's still there, as of last weekend.

^^^ The Phillips 66 in my hometown was that building in reverse. It finally closed just a few years ago when the owner passed away.

The young man at the top needs a fez on to be driving his tiny Model T.
I've never seen a load of Edsels before.

They're probably factory recalls. When you push the "D" button, the radio changes stations.

Meanwhile, what ever became of Happy the Esso Oil Drop anyway? I know his girlfriend had a movie gig a few years back...

Those rounded corners are such a simple yet brilliant architectural touch. The definitive feature of a "Gulf Icebox."

Ozark Beach (Taney County Missouri). Post Office was there from 1919 to 1959.

I'm willing to bet that Independent station started as a Texaco "Denver Style" building, and the operator decided he'd had enough of the Texaco jobber.

It's a beautiful station design.

I'd like to have that Pepsi machine he's leaning on.
