Conoco Tower in Shamrock Texas - Thursday, April10











On to Shamrock, Texas where we found the Conoco Tower Gas Station, circa 1930 - featured in the movie, "Cars" where I enjoyed a free coffee in the U Drop Inn Cafe next to the station that is now a lovely visitors' centre.

Bob even got to put a pin on their map in Kitchener.


The reclamation also included neon lights so it would be quite a sight in the evening. There were also Tesla electric car charging stations out back.










 "Cars" was playing on a continuous loop - the greeter said she knows all the songs by heart and still enjoys the movie.
