Great pictures, but one of them is recent. The photo of the Shell station, with the station wagon and trailer, was taken within the last 10-15 years at the Gilmore Car Museum, in Hickory Corners, Mi. I have pictures of both of my street rods in front of the station, very similar to this one. The museum recreated the Shell station, from a similar one in Jackson, Mi, and most of the items in and outside of the station were donated by a Shell distributor, in Jackson.
A visit to the museum is well worth the time. Besides the Shell station, they also have a restored diner car, and of course, over a hundred antique cars. Most of the autos are kept inside restored barns, that have been moved to the museum from farms in the area. They have a cruise nite every Wed. evening, during the summer, and different car shows almost every weekend.
