Mantooth Chevron Station
119 First St., McLean, TX
Phone:
Odell Mantooth operated this station from 1945 when it was built until
1981 selling Chevron gas the whole time. There had been a previous gas
station on this site. The two doors on the side of the building were for
the restrooms. There are two garage doors on the front of the building
for the service bays. The canopy is supported by a couple of steel columns
and has been only slightly modified over the years. Three gas pumps were
located between the canopy columns. Just one wall of the building next
door was still standing when this photo was taken in 2015.
There is a Hotrod Haven mural on the side of the station. It is located
at 1st Street and Rowe St. There is another mural on the remaining wall
of the building next door. It's pretty faded out, but at one time proudly
proclaimed "McLean, The Heart of Route 66:.
