Default Re: Gas Stations

Here's a few shots of a local brand I am into called Red Head. They had 400+ stations in Western Canada from the 1920's through 1958 and I have recreated this stations Red Head island theme in one of my garages. Very rare collectibles in these parts.

Red Head Station - Edmonton Alberta Circa 1955


The service island from the same Wood Park Station above.


Island image printed to canvas and hung on a 12' wall in my garage.


The island built with lights and pumps added in front of the image backdrop.


The pumps and can/bottle racks shown above are original survivors and all are "extremely" hard items to find. Some items shown are the only survivors known to exist in this coveted regional brand. When I build my new shop in the coming year, there will be an actual station built with an outdoor island and canopy done up in Red Head. I love this stuff...great thread you guys started here.
