Pretty cool Randy. It reminded me of a song.

Simpler, more innocent times then. Good song Al.
Re: 1940's gas stations
There's a local guy who's restored an old style gas station down on our main street, he also owns the old machine shop to the left. Neither are open to the public but I have a friend who was once in the machine shop and he said it's filled with his toys. I would think he has pretty a good security set-up, just the 4 gas pumps are worth several thousand dollars. Note the old phone booth at the far right.
Not enough detail in the second photo to really see it but there's photo's on the inside of the bay windows to represent what's inside, the one on the left shows an old car up on a lift.

Re: 1940's gas stations
Nothing like an old machine shop to dig around in!
