There are no Fords in the photo, but we thought that you would really enjoy seeing this neat filling station in Oklahoma City. Stop by and visit The Old Motor where we have three enlargements of it and all the details about the company.

T-Head, Thanks for starting this thread, we should all add to it, here is one I found.

In those days they were called SERVICE STATIONS not GAS STATIONS.

OK. My car is way too new for the station. Sorry, it's the oldest car I have.

Funny thing is - this station was originally built and run by an Anderson, just like the first picture posted.

Here is an early V- 8 Ford at Devils Elbow.There are 100's of gas station photos to enjoy on TheOldMotor.Com

T-head, indeed there are some real gems on that web site. I looked at them all. This was one of my favorites. Hard to tell it's a filling station (yeah, that's what they called them) unless you look close for the pumps.

I think this one was pretty neat because it belonged to my great uncle...Elmer Spatz. This was on Palm Ave in Alhambra, CA.

Re: The Neatest Gas Station You Have Ever Seen
 

sucks they dont do that now. id love to see that comeback! actually servicing your car while gettin gas

Re: The Neatest Gas Station You Have Ever Seen
 

;)In 1954 the service station I worked at sent two guys to the gas island and did tire pressure, windshield, check oil and radiator etc. Do it all or lose your job. Ah for the good old days!

The best part of that first photo? The proprietors name, Ed Cheatham!

Sounds like the 'ol Three Stooges law firm, Dewy, Cheatham and Howe!

Re: The Neatest Gas Station You Have Ever Seen
 

Ah, the good 'ol days. When the bumpers were polished chrome, a bottle of ice cold Coke was a dime, and air for your tires was FREE!
How do we go back there???

Re: The Neatest Gas Station You Have Ever Seen
 

My Grandfather (on my mom's side) had a Sinclair "Fillin' Station" in Cleveland, Georgia on Rt. 115 when I was just a kid back in the '50's. I Googled and found this photo of the building, taken just prior to it being razed (some time in the '70's I think).
