My dad owned this newly built Sunoco station back in 1959 in Villa Park,Illinois.
The pump shows $1.00 bought 3 gallons of gas.
Notice back then there were 6 blends of octane available.
Also bottled Coca-Cola in wooden crates at the full service island and in front of the station
These pics were taken during the grand opening in May 1959
and he continued to own and operate this station for several years.
