Title: Added Vendo to Restored Service Station Post by: lynful on October 13, 2012, 03:35:00 pm Finally got around to adding a coke machine to my restored station. Fits in well. Station is on its own triangle city block and the building itself is a triangle. Station was built in 1935 so I may put my Icy-O inside, be about the right age.

Where is your station located? Bet it gets lots of attention! Title: Re: Added Vendo to Restored Service Station Post by: lynful on October 13, 2012, 05:12:45 pm Its in Snyder, Texas, West Texas, where I grew up. Filled up there many times. City had it on the list to demolish, so I bought it, restored it and use it for my restoration office. In process of getting a historical marker. Been lots of fun.

I bet more than a few old hotrods have pulled in there for a nice photo shoot....? Really something special you have restored there lynful. Brian Title: Re: Added Vendo to Restored Service Station Post by: BONOVOX on October 14, 2012, 07:57:58 am That look AWESOME!!!

Snyder is not that big bonovox. Hard to sneeze in Snyder without someone knowing. lynful, I think I know exactly where you are too! I grew up in Big D and had a friend with a farm in Snyder. My first experience with a "party line" telephone was in Snyder. Title: Re: Added Vendo to Restored Service Station Post by: ss540 on October 20, 2012, 06:35:54 am That is just too cool!! Sherri & I hope to visit your station next year and photograph her 59 Biscayne restomod in front of the station.
