This Route 66 Gas Station is fully restored and working just like when it opened in 1930. It is becoming harder and harder to find gas stations and their garages actually working on Route 66, since it was replaced and open for business by a Super Interstate Highway. The owners love talking about the Mother Road. The colored version of this image needed no help, but the black and white image got a bit of a boost with a little HDR (High Dynamic Range) adjustment to the photo. There is a slight hint of light brown in the black shadows. Trying to be consistent and true to the timeline this subject was captured, thus, a few contemporary tweaks.
