Our ride last Saturday also included a stop at a vintage Texaco station in Independence, WI. I couldn't quite figure out what its purpose was. It didn't look like a working gas station. Perhaps a museum of 50's memorabilia, or a classic car shop, or I don't know what.
They were closed, so it wasn't until I started searching on the internet that I found out it was a mechanical repair and auto sales shop. It was built in 1931 and was restored a few years ago. Here is an interesting video that tells about the history of this building.

They had a delivery vehicle sitting out front. I wish I could have driven a vehicle like this when I was a delivery driver many moons ago!Techie Corner
I took the main image into Photoshop and gave it a "dreamy" effect to enhance the feeling of stepping back in time.
