auburnseeker Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 That was quite a garage in the day. Not what. Iwould have thought of when I think of Cuba, but then again before Castor, it was quite a different prosperous country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 You are correct sir, Cuba was a very prosperous country... too bad other countries won’t learn from our disastrous fate. Love the art-Deco style building 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) This is another Service Station/ GM Dealership back in Cuba, this time on my home town of Santa Clara, Las Villas Province. Again you can observe the Art-Deco architecture of the era BTW there is a Buick parked behind the power pole.

J.H.Boland Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Not Buick, but a typical small town dealer/service station selling Chevrolet on the main street in Aylmer,Ontario. My '21 Chevy likely was purchased there new. Jim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 On my screen that looks more like a dark gray which would make a little more sense. As mentioned though, not a color combo I have seen in the sales literature of the era. Of either varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I see dark blue and turquoise. And one red and one silver gas pump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I see the red and and silver gas pump, The Ford truck looks almost black but may be dark green, the bug looks to be that silvery blue or silvery green color, trim on the gas station appears to be dark green. Now Elpad's Buick in his Avitar looks dark blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Those Shell stations sure bring back memories. There were lots of these (both varieties) in central NY in the 60's and early 70's. Now gone, though I believe Shell became part of what is now BP. Still none of these around here. Esso/Exxon all became 'Mobil' after the merger and now I believe there is only one (maybe 2) Mobil stations remaining. The most prolific national brand around here now is Sunoco.

JohnD1956 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 @EmTee Shell is still prolific outside NYS, although there is one I know of in Newburgh, NY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
