^ I wonder what that Texaco pole is doing right on the lake!? Looks like it's almost in the water? Gas station for boaters? Very cool!

Took a different route through Lockport N.Y. to my favorite wing place and came across this gem. Cool roof design and still very solid.

Took a little side trip on the way home from Iowa.

Here is an old Phillips 66 in Winter, WI. The current owner of the building has had it in his family since it was built. My next trip through he is going to show me some pictures of when it was a station and how it changed.





The next one is an old Zephyr Station near Holcombe WI

Nice pair of A100 Dodges. Someone did a lot of work fabricating that flat deck auto hauler. Putting that smaller body on a much larger chassis would have been challenging at many levels.

I don't know how to start this post without making it a autobiography. When I started in this hobby I thought it would be cool to restore a pump just like the ones I pumped gas from in 53 and 54. So I started looking for pictures of the old station. It was a Standard station with the crowns the building made from cinder block with a office and about a six car garage. The building still stands today in a modified configuration as you will see. Needless to say I cannot find any old pictures of it. Next option is to talk to dead peoples relatives. We were the last station going south out of Cheyenne on US 85&87. It is pretty much still on the edge of town. I went out there the other day and took a few pictures. The original building was bought by the VFW post 4343 in about 1954. Since then they have added and added on to it. In the second picture I have outlined the part of the old building you can see from the back and side. The next two pictures are of our body shop that they have moved from the other side where it used to set. It now sets behind the Teepee. Has you can see it is a old service station building. The owner of the Teepee said maybe he would sell it. I'm not interested, to old. The Teepee was still being built in 1954. The teepee itself is framed with 2" flue pipe salvaged from old steam engines that the UP were cutting at that time. It was built as a tourist attraction. It has been used for a truck garage, flea market and now is a baseball practice facility. There used to be a café in a old dining car that sat between the station and Teepee. That is where I ate my first chicken fried steak in 1953 and talked the waitress into letting me punch the punch boards. Now here are the pictures. Mitch

Craig-Good eye, yes many are Mr Carey's vehicles. The 1905 Cadillac
was found in a mine where it rested for many a year until he purchased it and restored it. So the placard said.

You can save that pump. Get some wrenches and remove lower parts. Then bring some help and a wheel barrel. I had to do it before.

its funny, I've ridden there 100 times and never seen that pump until today! I'm already scheming on getting permission from the park and dragging it out of there. only 1 mile or so to the road. I've got a bike trailer that will carry it without the lower bits.

I was in Saskatoon SK to visit family and celebrate my mother's B-day. I had a chance to visit an OG'er Ken Bird who shared his BA collection with me. I also was there the weekend the local car clubs hosted and show and shine of their cars. Much of downtown Saskatoon was taken over for the show. Unfortunately the weather didn't show up as it was a cold day with rain and cold temps.

Ha, what an ugly mug in that first picture! That second pic that Fred took is of an original Red Indian/Texaco station that has been restored and now is a Saskatoon City Police satellite station.
Thanks for taking pics of the cars Fred, as I forgot my camera at home on the coffee table.

Found this on google maps street view!
I sure hope he has moved this somewhere else besides right off this parking lot like this. Way to easy for someone to steel it sitting where its at.
Looks like a beauty!!!

LOL! You are very correct Fred in that I need to get out more!! But there was a bit more than just luck involved in my finding this one.
It's not to far from me. Next time I get up that way I surely plan to check it out.

Stopped at this place yesterday. Several guys on the porch. Swapping guns. Heard one guy say , that guy's taken a picture. Decided maybe I should go up there and see if they had anything cold to drink. Got me an A&W, got friendly with the owner and moseyed on out of there. A quick step back in time in south side Va.
