What kind of gas stations...

Ah yah! Snorton Norton. Had a 750 briefly. It barked louder than the Hogs so had to stay away from the Man.

 

Ahh,yes......Cities Service, Fleetwing, Blue Flash, Sinclair, Sohio.
Memories, memories.

 

There were a couple around here a long time ago. Kinda confirmed the rumor that beside the definition of "unholy racket" in the dictionary there was a picture of one.

I did like their look.

 

A Packard and a Hudson. Two of the nation's finest fallen flags.

 

Packard's memorable tag line, "Ask the Man who Owns One."

 

Wow, great pics, cars and all!

 

Nice Packard. Wouldn't mind showing up for work in that one.

 

I just remembered that I have some photos of a preserved gas station. Here's one of them:



This is at Cumberland Village, a historical village in the same pattern as Upper Canada Village, with preserved buildings from all over eastern Ontario, but set in the 1920s. I liked that place. It's not far west of Ottawa.

What I liked about this one is that inside it actually smells like a real garage, not a museum exhibit!

The guy with the period wheelbarrow is wearing period clothes.

Some from inside the garage.

A nice car in for a tune-up:



Tune-ups done with the "Motor-Tuner":



Need some fluids? We have all the top brands!

 

Looks like a Franklin. No need for Prestone or Rustone.

 

I give up. What was that convertible in the foreground?

 

Straight Eight with Dynaflow. A great ride.

 

Nice ride! Just the thing to go cruisin' the main drag.
