Today we visited the very iconic Conoco station in Shamrock, a small Route 66 town in the Texas Panhandle.

Interesting shots. When gas stations had Class ! I believe Shamrock Texas is where Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys called home !

I really enjoy your photos and am envious. When I was driving through Shamrock this summer, to take some pictures of this iconic gas station along Route 66, I encountered drizzling rain and dark grey skies. Happy that you had much more luck than me.

Nice shots to put a native Texan in mind of home, not to mention the Bob Wills comments.
