Let's see your pictures of petro scenes you come across in your travels. Old gas stations that are still around along with old car dealerships, auto repair garages and other petro sights.

We just got back from a road trip along the southern shore of Lake Superior. Here are a few shots I saw on the back roads of western U.P. Michigan and northern Wisconsin.

That's funny Jim...last year this time I ate at the other location in Duluth. I didn't even know the place has old sign decor until I walked in. Nice signs.

Would you approach these folks about their painted over gas station sign?

Pretty cool graphics. I think they intend on keeping it. If you're going to ask, be sure to not make 'em upset. wink

Yes Jim it would be at the least "interesting", a picture will suffice!

Magnolia Petroleum Company right near the railroad tracks in Amarillo, Texas. A roofing company operates out of this building now.

Old car dealership building on a steep mountainside in the copper mining town of Jerome, Arizona. The vintage photo shows a wooden ramp that took cars to a basement service department. The antique car elevator holding a 1936 Plymouth was used in this building to lower cars to a sub-basement auto service level. I love the old car front and rear clips on a pole in front of the building.

The building now houses several antique dealers, a music shop, a steampunk art vendor and the town post office. After the copper mine closed down in the 1950s, the town now hangs on as a cool tourist destination.

I've noticed a vacant porcelain panel gas station on a main street in Verona, Wisconsin in recent years. I had hoped that the old building wouldn't get torn down. Last week when I passed by I was happy to see that it was all fixed up into a coffee, ice cream cafe joint called "Icki Sticki."

I drove by this station today. Panhandle Gas Station in Plainview, Tx. You have to look closely at the front panel of the canopy but PANHANDLE is there.

Here’s a 23 year old FATW I saw on a bike ride, probably Oregon.

Looks like that gas pump is valiantly trying to hold up the roof of that old station building.
