I remember seeing the station pictured when I was a boy. It was the biggest sign and biggest gas station I had ever seen. It sat in a wedge island between three directions of traffic on a high traffic St. Louis street.

Type in Skinker & Clayton Rds, St Louis, Mo. on mapquest for a Recent view. Then Click on 360deg view.

I tried a Direct link but didn't work.

Grab the "N" on the round circle on the upper left and drag it slowly around the circle to see a panorama. Play around with it and you can see it from the other side too.
