| The American Gas Station:
History and Folklore of the Gas Station in American Car
Culture is the service station book that started it all.
Here is the complete history of the roadside refueling
station, packed with images of vintage service stations,
gasoline pumps, gas pump globes, oil containers, neon signs,
petroleum mascots, promotional memorabilia called "petroliana," and
more. |
This incredible collection
of historical photographs and evocative interviews captures
the reverence of the towns and attractions found along
the roadsides of America's fabled Mother Road, Route 66.
Take a trip across an America of yesteryear and rediscover
the myth, magic, and imagination that is the old road.
On Route 66, the ride is more important than the destination. |

| The American Drive-in
is an eye-popping chronicle of the drive-in restaurant's
glory years and recent revival, including icons like the
Texas Pig Stands, A&W, Mels, McDonald's, The Varsity,
Porky's, Sonic, and many more. Here is the definitve fast
food volume, a fun history of the folklore, architecture,
and cuisine of our favorite drive-in restaurants from coast
to coast. |
The American Motel recalls
the evolution of yesterday's hotels, motor camps, and tourist
courts into the sleek, franchised, leisure motels of today.
For those who long for the days of two-lane highways lined
with neon signs, drive-ins, and "Mom and Pop" motor
inns, here is a key to a time when a night in a motel wasn't
just an interruption to a vacation, it was part of the
fun. |
