ConocoPhillips today posted this nifty video that talks about the history of Route 66 and historic Conoco and Phillips 66 gas stations along the Mother Road in Texas.
It’s good to see a major corporation at least acknowledge its history. Sometimes, in the quest to pave roads to the future, corporations forget where they’ve been. And Phillips 66, a division of the company, has considerable ties to Route 66.
See the story and photos of our restored Phillips 66 station in Cuba, MO: https://cubamomurals.com/wordpress/?p=597
The before and after photos tell the story.
These are great buildings. The one in Cuba is a real asset to the community. Many people pause here to take photos of each other, their motorcycles, and their vintage cars. Notice the Stingray in one mural panel and the Historic Wagon Wheel Motel sign and Highway Partol car in another panel.
