![]() Model T at Gas Station in Brownwood Texas in 1939 This Model T has seen better days but the owner seems to be telling the photographer, "still beats walking" as he fills the tank with "Indian Gas" Indian Gas was a branded fuel line sold by certain Texaco stations, especially in rural Texas and the Southwest, during the mid-20th century. It often featured Native American imagery on signs or pumps — common in vintage fuel branding, though now seen as culturally insensitive. These were independent dealers who sold Texaco fuel but used the "Indian" brand name for local marketing, possibly to distinguish their locations or appeal to local customers. |
