WELL, LET ME SAY THIS.....I SEE A GREEN 7-UP MACHINE....NOT BECAUSE 7-UP MACHINES ARE TYPICALLY GREEN, BUT BECAUSE I SEE IT AS GREEN. THE TRIM PANELS ON THE BUILDING WHILE CLOSE IN FAMILY TO THE GREEN IS DEF NOT GREEN...IT'S BLUE. THIS I CAN DECIPHER. BTW, THE BARELY VISIBLE COKE MACHINE IS RED, BLACK AND WHITE AND IS PROBABLY FROM THE 80'S.  HOW AM I DOING? IS MY MONITOR CALIBRATED OKAY? LOL!

I found out that the station used to be a Pure station and it was built in 1938....The guy said the building was built or made by a company in cincinnati, ohio...Its all steel and porcelain....the guys bathroom is inside and ladies out side...He has owned it since 1983...and it was switched to gulf gas station when he took over...

Thanks for posting the pics of this station Polesignkid. And make darn sure if that thing ever comes up for sale it gets preserved! That would be one nice little station to restore. Heck, it's all there and hardly altered. Even now I want to drive down with my Softscrub and start getting those rust marks off it, lol!
I wish there were some like this in my area but the only porcelain paneled one I know of is in Reading, MI and was a Pure as well. It's now a repair garage.
Again, great building, thanks for the pics.
