Vintage gas station Pictures

(1959)– View showing the Burroughs Union 76 Station located at 7560 Topanga Cyn Blvd – SE corner of Topanga and Saticoy; Winchell’s donuts was behind. Photo caption reads: Al Mead zooms up with Nancy Ignacio, and in the back seat Donna Zaretzka and Joe Hackett, to get gas from service man Bill Burroughs.

I wouldn't want to get gas from Bill Burroughs. All you'd get from him today would be dust, anyway

 

Man that looks cool!
George Jetson, eat your heart out.

 

How would you like to have Humphrey Bogart filling your tank? Or, at least, someone who thinks he is:

 

Ooh, a gas station and a gasthaus!

 

1960s view to the south looking down North Central Avenue at the intersection of the roadway and Grand Avenue located in West Duluth, Minnesota. On the far-left of the photo is Ray’s 66 Service and Three-Minute Car Wash. On the far-right of the picture is a Standard Oil gasoline station with one service bay. Also of interest is the car and truck traffic on both Avenues.

A recent street view of the intersection shows that everything has changed except the buildings on the left-hand side past the railroad tracks that used to cross North Central. Photograph courtesy of the University of Minnesota.

What a great photo. I live it when I see an adult humors a kid like this. Future hot roder right there.
