"DMASSO" and "Chuck Sartor": I have a delivery truck for the Skelly bulk oil plant I
posted on here, kitbashed from '34 Ford tank truck, with Skelly logo, (but forgot to
include it in the posting photo). I am in the process of kitbashing an Ertl '37 Ford tractor trailer delivery tank truck for Frontier...(has to be disassembled to paint..coin slot filled, etc.) (would sure like some variety in truck cabs, pre-1941)
Over a year ago when I started building Frontier gas stations, I exchanged emails with a public relations person at Frontier. searching for station photos, etc. But before they could respond, I discovered "petroliana" on eBay...a lot of collectors as crazy about historical gas stations as we are RR history. And I found my signs. So I
thanked them, didn't pursue it, and don't remember the details. An internet search would turn up that corporate address, but I don't know if the refinery was in the same location. I seem to remember they had a refinery in Denver, one
in Nebraska, one in western Kansas and maybe in Wyoming. Wikipedia has a history
on Frontier. Just this past summer Frontier merged with Holly Petroleum to become
Holly-Frontier, to my chagrin, as I was pleased to find them when I did, still an independent refiner, even though long gone from retail sales.
I have been trying to find out, through RR photo sources, etc., if Frontier actually
owned their own logoed tank cars, or did they use UTLX, etc. No luck yet.
