I finally learned of a model T museum that has been photographed many times but not identified in emails, Near Yuma Arizona is an old gas station / private collection/museum

Steve told me that this was originally a gas station in Holtville Ca, but was bought and moved here

it is North of Yuma, in a small town named Bard. The collection is open for visitors in the cool winter months http://www.dynamitedave.com/places_cloud_museum.html

self employed on the roadside, but it's better than punching a clock

it's better than a lemonade stand too... people know how that Coke will taste, but not know what your lemonade is going to be like

and this is a portable gas station from the 1920's. Somewhere I posted a photo of a guy wheeling one down a city street and selling a gallon here, a couple there. It's a good idea in my opinion... it brings the convienence factor to buying gas... and not having to pull into a gas station when your car requires it. Imagine if your gas was refilled while you were at work? How nice would that be?

Both found on http://fifties50s.blogspot.com
