Originally opened in 1933 by Dick Dunkle, this Pennsylvania gas station has managed to retain its classy architectural style to this day. It’s a far cry from the interchangeable efficiency of most modern gas stations. This Art Deco-style gas station is a real roadside Americana on the former Lincoln Highway.
