There
was an old bicycle chained to the gas pump when we stopped by in 2019.
A little breeze had Old Glory all a flutter. I'm not sure if this is
the actual old Conoco station building or a replacement.
A
bit farther back on the property was this cool display of license plates
from all eight Route 66 states and more. In 2017 there was an plan to
build a much larger wall of license plates here, but that apparently
didn't work out so the wall reportedly moved to the side of a 40 foot
semi trailer at the 
Regular
gas was 29.9 cents a gallon last time this vintage gas pump had a job.
It's apparently been retired for many years! The manufacturer was Tokheim,
and the name shows on the stainless steel band at the top of the pump
as well as right under the price.
I
have no idea what this piece of machinery is, but I'm always fasinated
to find stuff like it standing around.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
