- Step back in time with us to an era when gas stations were more than just pit stops - they were iconic symbols of Americana and evolving automobile culture. The 1940s was a pivotal decade for the United States, and the gas stations of that time mirrored the nation's resilience, hope, and innovation.
On this channel, you'll journey through the vintage landscapes of small-town USA, where charming service stations with art deco designs and gleaming porcelain signs stood proudly at every corner. Discover the stories behind the classic gas pumps, attendants in crisp uniforms, and those ever-present roadside diners that filled the bellies of travelers.
From tales of World War II rationing to the post-war boom that led to the birth of the great American road trip, we'll delve deep into the history, architecture, and cultural significance of these iconic establishments.
So, whether you're a history buff, automobile enthusiast, or just someone with a penchant for nostalgia, join us in reliving a bygone era of the American Dream, one gas station at a time.
Growing up one of the greatest things I remember and still looking for it it's over 65 years. A 1959 tin plate Texaco gas station being assembled in the basement of my parents row house by my dad. I'm still searching for it I can find some 1960s. I love gas stations model cars real cars building houses both real and models. I build model train sets and one of my favorite editions is a gas station. So your show has been great.
Do you think they'll look back so fondly of our gas stations of today in say 70 years?
great pictures, very interesting to see how it was back then, thanks for sharing all these great pictures
You haven't seen it as it looked back then. You've seen it as AI thinks it was.
Yea I remember when the service station man. Would always came out to service you're car. Wow has time changed. Since. I was a kid 😁👍
Those old wind up gas pumps. I remember. So we'll .🎉😁👍👀
Ngl, was relieved when the narration ended.
You got full service for your cars back in those days of the 1940s at service stations because people had respect for 1 another back then.. Nows day there no such thing as full service at a service station/gas station it's called do it your self because people don't treat you with respect and don't care about respect now days..
You can still get full service in Middletown Indiana…..
@chha6439 There is no such thing as full service here in California it's called get out and pump your own gas yourself..
It used to be full service, and greeted with a smile, today you’re lucky if you don’t get robbed at a gas station.
Things like this started changing around the mid 60’s.
I wonder what the key element regarding changes with people, respect, and crime around this time?
Hmmmm….. as I watch the local news, I see the key element in crime and disrespect for others. 🍉🍗
You can still find some gas stations gathering spots in southern Alabama. One in particular is in Uniontown, Alabama-the only gas station in town.
I remember working full service station ⛽ got to know everyone in town made one dollar and sixty cents per hr. Loved it changed flats oil pump ⛽
Sempre gostei muito da esso ,depois 99 anos foram embora do meu pais, sinto falta da esso pois eu sempre fui muito bem atendido.
I was a pump jockey in the early 1960s it was a full service when the gas companies would have a price War you can buy a gallon of regular for about 18 cents that left you a little more to spend on your girlfriend if you were lucky enough to have one
Wow
Well I guess a state with an oil well on the steps of the Capital maybe doesn't have service stations. Oklahoma pumped much of the oil that made the gasoline and yet not one picture. I worked at a Service Station when I was very young that was in business from the 1930's through to 1973 not one picture from Oklahoma.
Why so many small and remote pic?
