In this film, we travel back in time to 1950s America and experience life at the gas station. We'll see the owners and customers who fill up on gas and snacks, and we'll learn about the importance of the gas station in American culture.
If you love vintage cars and retro style, then you'll love this film! Life at the Gas Station takes us back to a time when cars were big and American families spent their days pumping gas and catching a quick snack. From garages to suburbs, this film will transport you back to a bygone era and teach you about the importance of the gas station in American history!
Welcome to Memory Lane Channel!
Memory Lane is meant to be a visual history lesson. Each video explores a topic that relates to a specific point in time and takes a look back at that moment with not only snapshots, but also with commentary that tells a story.
Learning about life during various decades is best done by seeing how these moments looked. We all remember flipping through old photo albums and this channel is meant to feel that same way.
Memory Lane is a place where we can look back at the nostalgic eras of the past.

The old staions in rural areas are a significant groundwater pollution problem. When they folded and and the building was demolished, the underground tanks were often left in place.

Notice how skinny folks were. This was before the greaseburger franchises arrived. My dad's Standard station in rural Iowa closed when WWII deprived stations of product and his health declined a bit. Since then, the building has been an apartment and a beauty parlor but may be empty now. Our town was on cross-country federal highway 6, which had sustained eight gas stations in this little town of 900. Interstate 80 bypasses such communities, and highway 6 exists only in short segments here and there across America.

The first job I ever had when I was ten years old was at a rural gas station, I was the one who cleaned the wind shields of gas customers. I was paid fifty cents an hour and I used the money I made to buy Christmas presents for my family that year. I also worked on farms in the area for the same wage, and drove my fathers Ford tractor with blocks of wood attached to the pedals. The worse job I did was picking up rocks in our fields, a never ending job and at the time a mystery to me as every year plowing brought up more. Cleaning out the chicken house was smelly but not nearly as hard as picking up rocks! Working around the gas station was a good education in auto care and one that has stayed with me to this day.

Here in Pa we had Sunday blue laws in the 1950 & early 60's. Only place that we could purchase a soda was at a nearby gas station that only sold 8 or 10 ounce returnable bottles so we had to drink it there. The corner drug store would only sell Sunday newspaper & prescriptions the few hours they were open on Sunday. Can remember the oil can stand between gas pumps. Might have only charged you 35¢ for the quart of oil they put into your engine. Once the local rip off gas stations started charging a $1 for only 3 minutes of air went out and purchased a nice 18 volt portable air compressor.

European gas stations still have restaurants shops and even bars in them. People have refreshment or drink coffee or alcohol. It’s cute!👍

@004bop Yes😂 It’s a tradition and state police collects good € in fines (especially in states with zero tolerance)👍😂 Everybody’s happy!

My grandparents owned and operated a small town gas station and mechanic shop, from the latter 1940s until 1973.

Don't forget about the energy crisis of the 1970's causing alot of closures or having effects on gas stations

I only saw 1 gas pump with the moving balls that went around when the pump was on..

The ones with the balls in them were very early 50s but mostly 40s. If you are old enough to rember the balls ,do you rember the ones with a class cylinder on top with marks to measure the gallons you wanted & a pump handel on the side to fill it up with?

Frequently, the gas station attendant would over fill the gas to make an even money fill up. During the oil level check he would do a “short stick” of the dip stick. “Quart low, I’ll add a quart”. Ah the good old days.
