Phillips 66 Station
218 W. First St., McLean, TX
Phone:
This Phillips 66 station was built in 1929. It was the first Phillips
66 station in the state of Texas and also the first Phillips 66 station
restored on old Route 66. It is located on First St. and Gray St. It closed
in 1977 and in 1992 it was restored by the Texas Route 66 Association.
The Phillips "P" and shield can be seen on the chimney. With
no garage and no hoist a set of ramps beside the station allowed a mechanic
to work under a car.
A late 1940s Ford fuel truck stands beside the station. The vintage
black and orange Phillips 66 sign stands near the corner.
Two vintage gas pumps and a bulk oil tank stand on what's left of the
concrete island in front of the station. These bulk oil dispensers were
very common at the time, but not always out front with the pumps. The
pump on the right was displaying a 19.9 cents per gallon price when
this photo was snapped in 2012.
