A modern-day, Art-deco 1950s style station could be a great business. Make everything folks see and touch look new, but from the 1940s-50s. 

Have the old air-hose bells, only offer full-service, no self-pump gas. Old signs, new pumps dressed up as old.....

That would be cool as hell. I'd bet people would volunteer to work there.

Info on this picture? It's amazing.

 

A few years back, I was looking for photos to use as the desktop background on my computer, and just happened to come across this one. It's been my computer desktop background ever since. It didn't hurt that the car in the photo is a Dodge Challenger; of which I have owned 3 in the past.

"The Bomber" was a Milwaukie, Oregon landmark as a gas station and restaurant. The B-17 was removed in 2014 and is being restored to flying condition.
