While we’re on the subject of gas stations, this is one of my favorites in LA, of the historic variety: AMT Motors in Montecito Heights, dating (I believe) to 1943.
While it no longer sells gas, it’s still in operation all these decades later as a repair shop, and could easily be set-dressed for a period film with minimal effort.
Love the curve of the overhanging roof, love the plate windows, love the compactness of the building – everything about it is as classic as it gets.
Hope to help find a place for it in the movies someday!
