Another Freedom station, this one in Clinton, Illinois
on IL 54. As I recall it was on the eastern side of Clinton.

Some information on the Illinois Freedom brand from Steve Ridge:
They are a brand of Owens Oil Co of Bloomington IL.
They were part of Clark. Some of the Owens Stations were
rebranded Clark or closed in the 60's. I think they are independant
again.

FREEDOM station at Brundage Lane and Weed Patch Highway near Lamont, CA.
This station was formerly an ARCO. The sign looks similar to the FREEDOMs
in the above Illinois photos. Is it the same company??

Another view of the FREEDOM station logo (the single star).
Note the blacked-out ARCO star symbol beside the "Pay Point" sign.

A CFN Fuel Freedom Card cardlock, a diesel location in South Hill, VA on US 1.
This one is co-located with a Red Barn store. This is not a gasoline brand,
but a fuel card payment system. They have (had?) a website at

Yet another Freedom brand, on US 11 south of Slidell, LA on I-10 at LA 433
(Old Spanish Trail). This has a Cracker Barrel C-store and was formerly
a Texaco Dealer. This Freedom is apparently the brand of the former Texaco jobber.
