Don't remember them. There is a Home fuel company in the area

Dam early 0800 meet up at Carlisle diner in the AM. Parts is parts right?
You won’t hit the gate till after 9. All the best bowtie parts will be picked over by then!
Or be way overpriced.

I don't remember Sinclair in our part of Jersey and Amoco was American until mid 70s? Esso was pretty common, and of course became Exxon.
Forgot about Atlantic Richfield. Didn't see many of them but they were around. The one with the pegasus on the sign always caught my attention. Pretty sure that was Mobile's logo at the time.
Yep Mobil gas was Pegasus.
With the slogan up your a... with Mobil gas
Remember when Dave was making gas station illustrations, I posted this.

Next page I found a photo of it as a post office, but did not figure out which gas station company had built it.

Looking back at those posts, forgot about this website

Dave Who?.
I started down a rabbit hole of old gas station photos. Some with great character and architecture. Others looking like they'd just collapse. Spotting the old ones along Route 30 is kinda cool.
Always thought Sinclair was a western brand, like CONOCO. I think most have been bought up by the handful of big Petros and just keep the signage for the locals to identify with. Kinda like grocery stores.
I had dropped this image into Random Pictures...
See what's sitting there. It's cool

This former station was probably built in the 1920s or 1930s. It was used as a post office from at least the 1950s until 2009. These photos are from 2011. The building now appears to be used as a residence

I’d still like to design a shop to look like an old gas station
Bedord.PA has a very cool, still operating, Gulf station from the 1930s. Egyptian style architecture
I’m thinking more of one off of Route 66 but haven’t found “the” one yet
This was shot a couple of weeks ago.
That's the same one. I can't recall where I found the photo with post office sign still on it.
That looks to be good evidence those were all Texaco. Find some older photos to see what the roof material originally was.
There was a old gas station complex on one of the Connecticut 'parkways'. Maybe the Merritt ?? It was still in use when I drove by, but that was mid 90s.
That is sharp!
Might be a be a little weird to see that duplicated all over the place.
The first one was Cedar shakes. I bet the second one was too with a flat roof over the shop which was probably added later. It was replaced with green standing seam metal.
