Day for Night – 24 Hour Gasoline and Service in Southern California

We have a post up on The Old Motor filled with brightly lit gas stations harken back to a time when they had actual mechanics on duty well into the night and weren’t just cash cows dispensing fuel and junk food snacks. Frank Ridley’s Service Station (above), located on the 1100 block of 10th Street in Santa Monica, California exhibits a snappy looking 1940 Mercury convertible amidst many accesories than might prove useful to the midnight motorist. Four more neat photos are on The Old Motor.
