Vintage gas station Pictures

Look at all those cabovers. Going to have to show my boys. They love em.

 

Cool pics. Lots I have seen, but lots I haven't. I also collect gas and oil , I am a member of oldgas.com and oldgasolinethe forums. I recognize some names from there and the h.a.m.b. This is my living room.

And now they are a rare sight on the highways and byways of America. Kind of like the station wagon. I suppose that's one of the reasons why my boys like them so much. To see one on the road these days is a rare occurrence.

 

Yeah. You ever show your sons any of the truck-driving movies of the '70s, like Jan-Michael Vincent in "White Line Fever?" He drove a GMC Astro 95.
