February 25, 2023 -- Vintage 66

.
An old rock service station/garage with attached diner along old U.S. 66 is about the only thing left of once bustling Spencer, Missouri. Clearly it was a time when gasoline was 12-cents/gallon for regular and 14-cents for "ethyl".

This section of U.S. 66 was constructed in 1926 and the station dates to 1929-30

    Terrific find; I love nostalgic places like this! One day, I hope to drive the Mother Road and see (and photograph) all of her nostalgic and historical relics!

    What a little gem this place is! I am pretty sure gas will never get that cheap again. Wonderful composition!

    We've actually been by this place several years ago. And, if my memory serves me right, I believe the prices for gas on the sign were the same then as they are in this image. I don't believe however that the diner was there when we stopped by. Great find and great capture Frank. I love it!

    A great shot of such a unique find. Love the signs and don't we wish gas was this price now.

    Well captured shot of this vintage station . I like that you got the Phillips 66 sign along with the signs of the gas prices and the old cooler. With everything so congested around here where I live, it's hard for me to imagine driving through such vast land with places such as this that show the history.

    Terrific find Frank, an old classic just waiting for someone to bring it back to life. I remember those days too - when you got change back from your $5 bill after filling up your big old gas guzzler.
