Here are a couple of restored stations I found on a Texas site I visit

Definitely a Southern/Western version of the standard Teague Texaco.

I have one of those stars hanging in my stairwell. I took it off our station myself, the day it closed.

Oh, did you bring back a flood of memories! Always loved their jingle. [video=youtube;b1zxOTDHIBQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1zxOTDHIBQ[/video]

I recently returned from a little excursion to Jefferson, Texas, where they have, I believe, more of those old gas stations still standing than I've ever seen in one area, though most have been converted for other uses.

That first one has been walled in, but has a (presumably original) Humble Oil sign over the door.

These last two are located in the neighboring town of Marshall. Unlike Jefferson, they haven't done much with them.

The stations with the roof over the pumps have always been popular here. Both the snow and intense high altitude sun, make them nice!
