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.
