Mobil, Winslow, Arizona
1962

A black and white photo of a vintage Mobil gas station with three old-fashioned gas pumps in front. The station has a peaked roof and a service bay with an open garage door, revealing a glimpse of the interior. Tires are stacked outside near the service bay, and there's a Mobil pegasus sign above the station. The scene is devoid of people, and there are power lines and a streetlight overhead. A two-story building is partially visible in the background.
