Those Gulf iceboxes were just gorgeous examples of 1930s industrial design, right up there with the Teague Texacos. We had a completely intact, unmolested, operating one in the town where I lived in the '90s, up until the meddlesome biddies of the local Garden Club campaigned to have it remodeled. Off came the porcelain, up went cheap cedar shingles and a fake mansard roof, and the place closed within six months. It's now an ugly, badly-weathered furniture remodeling shop, and the fake mansard roof looks as stupid as ever.
Has this nice gas-station design something to do with Bauhaus, maybe??
