Thanks for posting the link. I collect petroliana (gas pump globes, signs, gas pumps, oil cans,etc) and used to be an admin on a petroliana collector website. I love those old station pics!
The one with the hot rod in front of the Pure station is a modern shot staged to look old.
Gilmore items are the most sought after in the petroliana hobby.
Note the one station offers three brands of gas. Richfield,General and Gilmore. That was a common practice on the west coast.
The bomber station was in danger of being demolished a few years ago. Not sure how that turned out.
The Covey's Little America Mobile (not Mobil) station is still intact as a Sinclair station on I80 in Wyoming.
A project I have planned is to build a replica gas station on my property. If things go as planned it will be L shaped with three bays on each side of the L. One side will have 50's era Sinclair signage, pumps and displays, the other side will have 60's-70's era Sinclair signage, pumps and displays. I'll use the service bays for workshop and the corner "sales/office" area to display my late son's Sinclair collection (which I've been adding to). So far I've accumulated six aluminum and glass overhead doors (most have the exhaust port), white porcelain panels from a Champlin station in Dennison, Iowa, porcelain panels from a Mobil station in Tonawanda, NY that looks like the Mobil station with the wrecker/snow plow. I still need some more porcelain panels before I have enough to do what I have planned.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
