Got a man here who is a professional model builder. He made a 1/24 scale gas station that is no more detailed than yours (and you really captured the station I worked at as a kid) and he left out the same two items that you missed: a bell hose and the windshield cleaner box.
That was my first real paycheck job. It was at a Union 76 station on Main street in Logan, Utah. I was fourteen and made 65 cents an hour. my best friend's dad owned it and many times I'd be there for a couple of hours alone, pumping gas, checking oil and air pressure in the tires, washing windshields and sweeping out the inside and emptying the ash rays. We also changed oil, mufflers, spark plugs, etc, repaired tires and put on snow tires and stored the customer's "fair weather" tires, put on tire chains and took them off again, changed wipers, did tune ups, and even put on new set covers. The only part of the job I didn't like was installing Port-A-Wall white sidewalls and de-skunking cars that had hit one of those nasty critters.
Thanks for the nostalgia and the marvelous job you did.
