Old Gas station

Postby Elmo » Sat Sep 15, 2012 6:10 pm

Im looking for a location for a photo shoot.

Im looking for an old gas station, something with preferably the old roundish style pumps (70's era or so) or even earlier.

I was told Oxford, but alas the old gas station on the corner has been done up.

Someone else suggested Cutler park out mccleans way, but I cant find any information on this. Does anyone know what this place is? or have any links to there web site (That I cant find)

Any other ideas as to where to go?

There is an older servo in Domett, about an hour north of Christchurch. Probably not old enough for your purposes though.. 702 Domett road if you google maps it.

Coalgate I'll have to check out, Domett has also been upgraded somewhat so no character there at all either, hadnt thought of ferry mead to be honest, problem there is could be quite busy with people.

Yeah Ferrymead was my first thought. Or email someone from the local vintage car club. Someone there will know someone with old pumps.
