"Wasn't Crown once named Crow Flite in the 50s, their colors were Green and White with the Black Crow."
This was one of my grandfather's locations and you were right on the Crow Flite- my grandfather who lived in Galena Park at the time was partners with Tommy Crow and owned a large chain of gas stations in the TOLA area (texas,oklahoma,lousiana,arkansas). The one thing ya were off on was the colors it was yellow and black.
But so awesome that you remembered the name! My Grandfather and his partner sold the franchise/chain to Valero back in i believe 1960 or so. His name was Rusk Benjamin Blasingame. My mother is his daughter Linda. Thanks again for the memories! Cassandra AKA K-C
