Vintage Gas Station Opens in Oregon

Seven years in the making, a 1959 vintage Texaco gas station has opened in La Grande, Oregon. The project had been the dream of local pastor Father Frank Albrecht. The station includes vintage-style gas pumps, attendants wearing old-fashioned uniforms who operate the pump and wash your windows and more memorabilia than you can shake a dipstick at.
