Standard Station, Amarillo, Texas
1962

A vintage black and white photo of a Standard gas station with multiple fuel pumps and a large sign with the company name. The station has a mid-20th-century architectural style, and there are promotional banners and a sign advertising a tune-up service. The street in the foreground is empty, and there are no visible people.
