That's just way cool! That would make a great back drop for photos of your car.

When I was just a wee lad, I remember a full size Dino, green Sinclair's dinosaur, I think on I-81, heading south from Frederick Md.

Where is this garage?

That is really neat. Thanks for sharing.

That is cool! They still have some old Sinclair stations out in Eastern Oregon. If you removed the junk food and replaced the attendant's bad attitude with service and a smile it would be like going back in time.

That's awesome, I was also thinking it would be a great location for photo op!!!! I remember filling up at Sinclair stations back in the early 80s, they always had high octane gas I think it was higher then 93 back in the day!

This would be a nice place to hold some area car shows. All that's missing is a Chevrolet sitting up on jack stands with the hood raised & a large oil stain underneath.

Harry Reid's personal vehicle is a police car?

Sure does, but I was working at the Standard Oil station. But it was pretty much the same thing.

Where exactly is this place? It looks like it is opened for business.

Turns out that it is now a Museum and "Open for Business" during the summer months. Had I known this at the time, I could have saved myself the trouble of taking all those photos!

That's cool. Nice to see someone keep one standing and at least look the part.

My dad and papaw owned a Texaco station back in the 60's he has that STP fender cover some place in his "stuff" I used it lots of times after I go old enough to work on my own cars. Thanks for posting those great pictures. Brings back lots of good memories that I wish I could re-live.

Looks like a "standard" design.

Wonder if that's the original location, if it was moved or if it was built there to standard or modified plans.
