Old Gas Stations
Any of you old-timers (like me) remember some of these?

Wow, great find. I was surprised to see one near me. The fifth from the bottom is in Lynnfield, Massachusetts - about 2 miles from my house, right off old Route 1.
It's a shame so much of the old stuff is getting torn down and replaced with cookie-cutter boxes. I watched them unload an entire Hess Express off a truck and assemble it in a couple days. Sad.

That was a great selection of pictures...I recall seeing some like that while riding around the countryside years ago. Uncle had one much like the first picture where you could buy a small coco-cola for 5 cents and a penny deposit on the bottle.......and gas was around 25 cents a gallon

I also remember when they would give out stuff with a fill up..
I remember getting a dinosaur shaped bar of soap from a Sinclair station.
Got 8 x11 inch pictures of Red Sox players at the local Atlantic Richfield station.
These are the only ones that stick out in my mind, but I know there were many other items..

I remember the old Sunoco stations with what seemed to be a dozen different grades of gasoline. Ours had a grease pit, and they let people use it for free on the weekends. Can you imagine trying to do that today w/ all the lawyers swarming around?
