Another gem along Pennsylvania's Lincoln Highway is Dunkle's Gulf, a sparkling art deco filling station. It was opened in 1933 by Dick Dunkle and is still in operation today, offering full-service repairs and gasoline. It sits there like a little castle, gleaming and saying "hey look me over." It's too bad the pumps are quasi-modern, but this is a small concession to having such a beautiful living, breathing roadside palace from the past in our midst. Could you fill 'er up with Ethyl please?

They don't build'em like that any more!
It is an amazing survivor — how many pre-1980 stations of any style still pump gas? And the pumps are probably 25 years old themselves. Nice photos of it!
I agree. I would go out of my way to buy gas here just because it's such a cool place!
What a beautiful reminder! Love you guys. From Jerry Hudunkle
