Only pic I could find of my dad at his Sunoco on Merivale ave, 57-64, Ottawa. Does the edge of the building count???

Wow,, great viewing!!

Anyone know if that Pontiac wagon is pulling an old "Airstream" trailer back a few pics?

Carl: I remember seeing a number of "Supertest" stations similar design as the one you posted.
One of those stations was operated by an old school mechanic, named "Harry Fiddy".
My brother bought a first car, 56 chev/265 that burnt oil badly, and he'd stop at Harry's and buy a few quarts of "Used" oil off him, for 10 cents i think.
Harry used to get upset at my brother for overfilling it, by an extra quart or two!! LOL
Brother drove starting at 16 and drove for over two years with no license,, got charged ?? 5 times, "The good ole days".
(He just couldn't find the money and the time to go get his license!)Lol

In Aylmer growing up the were at one time 15 staions to serve a population of about 3000 people.Today there are 3,and a population of 7600.
