Looking for old gas stations

[amboy49]

Hoping someone can point me in the direction of some old gas stations throughout Indiana. Would like to take some road trips when the weather breaks this spring and snap a picture with my Camaro.

Thanks in advance

I think there's one in Milton but somebody lives there. Fountain city has one that looks like it's operating as an unloved car storage area. You can use Google maps street view to check them out before you hit the road. There's a really cool corner store that looks like they just removed the pumps and awning in Hagerstown on the main drag.

You could make a coffee table book entitled "when gas was cheaper than ammo"

225 Main Street in Aurora, Indiana. It's a time capsule from the late 1960s. Sorry but I don't have a pic handy.

Plymouth, IN has a nice old gas station with antique police car and a wrecker if I remember correctly. East of the Dairy Queen on old 30. South side of the road.

A little outside Indiana, but given your user name and quest for old gas stations, you really should visit Amboy, California

Come to Auburn. We have 3 I can think of off my head. 2 are closed and a bit rough but the one is owned by a local guy. It is a Sinclair I believe. Neon signs and all. It on North Main st, Auburn IN 46706

Kinda reminds me of an old movie I remember watching on cable as a kid. Lee Majors, Burgess Meredith ("flying" an F-86) and totally cringey.

But, one of the plot devices was Majors and a kid were escaping something and using gas hand-pumped from the bottom of old gas station tanks. (This is pre-superfund.)

Good luck!

Here is the one in Plymouth.

I forget where this one is. I think up near Millersburg/Goshen area.

There is one in downtown Tell City that has been restored. No pics on Google but I can get one next time I'm down there.

I don't ride motorcycles, but if I did, I'd ride one out of Vegas on I-15, get off on Cima Road, and ride across the Mojave Preserve to 29 Palms.

I love that drive in a car. On a bike would be awesome.
