Kayo Photos

This Kayo gas station stood on the northeast corner of
Van Dyke and Ritter Avenues in Center Line, Michigan
(A suburb just north of Detroit) from about 1958 to 1968,
when it was demolished. Prior to that it had been a
Texaco for many years. Judging by the cars in the photo,
this was taken in 1966 or later.

Here is another view from the mid-1950s.
This is the same station as above, Van Dyke at Ritter.
Probably the intended shot was not of this station,
so all we can see is the sign. The building behind the sign
is NOT the station, but a barber shop. Station is out of
view to the right.

Here is a better view of the above station, this time we can see
what was cut off in the above photo. This photo is dated 1961.
