I must admit that something similar happened to me; while I was at Ft. Bragg. It wasn't a Service Station plate glass window I went through; but instead an Auto Parts Store.

I had just come back to the States from an Overseas TDY and my Wife informed me that the brakes didn't seem too be right. I decided to take the car the couple of blocks over to the Service Center at the Auto Parts Store and then would catch a ride to my Unit and catch a ride back to pick up the car after the brakes were done....

This was over 40 years ago and I can still feel the brake pedal go to the floor; the agonizing "slow motion" feeling of the car rolling up the slight incline into the window... Marveling at the time; how much the glass seemed to bend before exploding as the front end of the car stopped a couple feet into the building... It of course made the local Paper there in Fayetteville and I was the brunt of jokes for months!

The station with the Food Town sign would be in the Toledo area & most likely the other one was as well.

Bought a few things from someone long ago out of state.
Turned out,they used to own a local Sunoco Gas station right here a few towns over from me as a kid.
They included these items along as a keepsake. smile

Wow Jack, now those are some ugly stations. I never was a fan of that George Jetson space age styling.

Sorry Rick, I have no idea where those stations are. Just some pics I pirated from the internet.

A slide of a model of that station from a stack slides I got from a Sun Terminal years ago.
