Here's an old gas station made out of stone. This gas station is located somewhere in Illinois.

This "Flying Saucer" Gas Station sniffs of space-age
architecture all around. Unfortunately, today's autos never quite made
it to the Jetsons stage, so this gas station closed and remains defunct.
A roadside classic!
Some of the space age architecture resemble space ports and flying saucers.
Imagine driving down the street at night on your way to the neighborhood
food store and catching a glimpse of a flying sauce out of the corner
of your eye. Unfortunately, at least in the case of this saucer, it can
no longer happen. The Gas n' Go gas station has been demolished. This Gas N' Go in Ashtabula, OH originally opened in 1966. Ray Keyes was the architect. See other Midwest Mid-Century Modern buildings at Mid-Century Modern Midwest.

above ground.

recently. Check out the lettering and design of this sign.

The Twin Oaks Gas For Less is a rather rudimentary marquee which
still catches the eye of passing motorists.

What's a travel down
the roadside without a look-see at some vintage petrol pumps.
Especially these that are worn yet in still in decent condition.
