I recently moved 7074 from the workshop to my house and, since it's now close at hand, I took it out this weekend for the first time to run my Saturday morning errands. Along the way I stopped in town to snap a few pictures at an old Pure Oil gas station. This station is located in Geneva, IL and was built in 1937. After almost being torn down to make way for a bank, it was instead preserved and the lube bays now serve as the drive through. It was added to the list of National Historic Places in 2013, so it looks like it'll get to stick around for a while.

I have driven past many times but never saw the Cobra. I live in Wheaton.

This is off the subject but I am looking for a good person to do some work on my Factory Five.
Some one who does the job right with no shortcuts.
Would you know anyone?
