Skelly Oil was founded in 1919 by William Skelly. J. Paul Getty purchased control of the company in the 1930's and it remained Skelly Oil until it became a part of Getty Oil Company in 1974. The Skelly brand became defunct in 1977. The Skelly logo was revived in 2012. I suspect so someone could make more money from nostalgia buffs. I wish the vehicle hadn't been there, but the keys were not in it, I could not locate the owner and the police refused to have it towed away.

I do remember this brand Tick and I like the editing you did on this one.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
I don't know the name but the deterioration and rust along with the cement tile in the foreground provide a lot of texture...might be a good one for the contest.

I thought yesterday was supposed to be the first day of the rest of my life but it turns out today is. (Steve Martin)
Nostalgia pure for all elderly motorists Tick. I remember the hand-pumped ones from my childhood. Nice capture.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I love old decaying buildings, and this sure fits that to T! With the building closed up makes me wonder why the vehicle was even there. My thought maybe they met someone there, and left it there till they returned. tigz=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I agree about the car, but the overall image is a true target for photographers.

Here in Iowa we have a site called Iowa Abandoned Things, this would be a good one for that. I love old buildings. Thanks for sharing.

An awesome image Tick. I love the treatment you gave this. Had you removed the vehicle we would have heard about it from the local sheriffs newspaper:):)

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Great pic! So a touch of modernism was there to show that a place from 1919 could remain well in tact over all those years. Awesome. :)

Hey, look up from the phone a minute, there's a view!
You need to keep a large, wheeled jack, wheel rollers, and chains in your truck, Ron. [oD I remember Skelly; we had one in our town when I was young.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
...I kind of like the name, Cap'n, but that's me... x:)

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
