Signs, Signs - Texaco

Andy | Wednesday, August 01, 2012 | Best Blogger Tips

Texaco gas stations disappeared from Canada in 1989 when they were sold to Imperial Oil with retail operations converted to the Esso brand. When I took this photo there was no one around to ask about this building. Judging by the other signs on the building I assume the owner is a sign collector. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

  8. Remember these signs well, and it is great to see them again. This must be a major collector's display.

  12. The old star of the American road. Looks like this place could be in a 1950s movie or something. :)

    What a treasure. Reminds me when I pumped gas in the early 70's.
