Garbage Can Cafe, Conway MO


Harris Cafe, Conway MO (My hang out back in the '50s)

All of these were on Rt. 66 except the one in Quincy FL

I own this this Standard Oil station now converted into an apartment building. It's right next store to my shop in Fairbury Illinois. The picture came from a postcard that I would guess was taken in the 40's by the cars in the pics.

 

The old Amoco building in Dillionvale, Ohio
My '63 T-Bird in front of an old gas station on route #2 near St. Marys, WV.
Not and old gas station picture but a cool one just the same (taken from the H.A.M.B. site).

 

Heres an old one in Mississippi

 

Here's a picture I took of "Terrible Terry's" station in Arizona (I think), waaaay back in 1956 when I was just 10-years old. My parents, an older brother & I were heading to California for a vacation in a '51 Buick. I was really intrigued with that gas station back then.

If anyone can positively I.D. the locale, I'd sure appreciate it

 

This was a Pure Oil Station in Richmond, VA



This is what it looks like today.



This was a gas station on Rt. 15 near Culpeper, VA

I moved this into my front yard

 

heres my gas station,located in bainbridge ga.
its rented for now,we plan on painting it soon.

 

This one is off of I-80 in Nebraska, it use to have huge wagon wheels on it. I remember seeing this back in the 60's as a kid and somewhere in all my pictures I have a picture of it from the mid 90's w/the wheels still on it.

old Skelly station in Cedar Rapids Iowa. was being used as a car lot, sitting empty now since the floods of 2008 (you can see the water line just under the side windows).



here's an old Texaco in Keota Iowa.

 

What ever happened to it? Is it still in the family?

Boy what a great place to own,.... when was it built? Was it always in your family?

 

I took this foto in Maui Hawaii in 2006.

 

One of the first, maybe the 1st GULF gas station in the USA was in the city of Pittsburgh Pa.

and the idiots let it get torn down.





Ago

 

No they tore it down years ago and there's a Country Kitchen restaurant there now. On the corner of Elm St. & Jefferson. I don't know when it was built. Years ago though. Never was in my family, was owned by Aurther Nelson.

 

I know where there is a few. Some converted and some abandoned. I'll get som pic's and post them...

 

I just took this shot in Hardy AR the other day.



In the front parking lot. Cop is always parked right there.
