Theme # 191 "Museum"


This is the first in a series of images I took at the Police Museum in Yaphank, NY. As you can see it is an old Shell Gas Station dating back to the early 1940's. The Police Wrecker (tow truck) is a 1942 Dodge. The price of gas as seen on the pump was 15 9/10 cents per gallon. The two posts below show one of the gas pumps and the restrooms (little bldg. on right side).

  2. Another great shot but it is still the gas station Eddie, there must be at least one more in it. Love the series by the way.

  7. This could easily have fit the Nostalgia theme. You don't see these much any longer.
