Mobil, Shamrock, Texas
1962

A vintage black and white photo of a Mobil gas service station with multiple fuel pumps in the foreground. The station has a large Mobil Pegasus logo on the facade above the service bay. A display of tires is visible to the left, and there's a streetlight on the right. The environment suggests a mid-20th-century setting.
