A photo of a Sohio fuel station (later to become part of Amoco and would even later merge with British Petroleum) that a man had taken with his Argus film camera during his lunch break from his school in circa 1938-1940. Pictured driving by is a 1935 LaSalle. LaSalle was a companion brand to Cadillac, was intended to be a “junior” Cadillac; and was the brainchild of Alfred Sloan’s companion make strategy. Also resulting from this strategy was Viking as a companion brand to Oldsmobile, Marquette as a companion brand to Buick; and Pontiac as a companion brand to Oakland.

This same fuel station operating as a BP fuel station decades later in 2011. Not too long after Google had shot this image as part of the “Street View” on their map of this area; the fuel station was sold, condemned; and constructed in its place is a Bistro.
