Post 116. The grille on the Chevy truck is a 1957 (the wide opening in the middle was '57 only) but the hub caps are 1955-56. The '57s had larger painted slots going around the cap. Still totally awesome Chevs and building. So so neat !!!!!

I think the California black plates came out in 1963, 64 some time around that. Numbers Dummy probably knows since he's lived out there a long time.

Post #150. Wow I learned something new. Didn't know they put alcohol in gas back in the 1930s.

Surprised no one took a pic of the last surviving Whiting Bros station in Moriarty, NM. Anyone who's from out west and can remember before 1990 knows they were a large regional chain out there for many years. When I passed thru Moriarty in June, the pump hoses were taken off so it may no longer be operating now but the building is in great shape.l

My father on left my uncle on right. Retired in 1977 sold to my high
school pal. Today its the oldest and only full service station that I know
of. 2yrs ago I restored that Willard Fast Charger & glad I did cause we
do a lot of 6vt cars trucks and tractors..

Here is the restored Willard charger before I got graphics from the sign
man and a 1939 photo when he signed up with Atlantic Richfield


Ah-0- crooked pic?? By the way the charger tires were a little bald, so I turned groves with a parting tool on the
lathe.

Here's one in my former home town, Glen Ellyn IL. It appears to be in the 40's. The Mobilgas lighthouse was there in the early 60's when we moved there. Anyone who lives up there now, this is looking west from Park Blvd and Roosevelt Rd (IL 38). You wouldn't believe what it looks like now!
