My first car
My first car was a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air with a 3 speed manual transmission. I purchased it my sophmore year in college, 1959 at the grand age of 19, and drove it until I graduated in 1962.
You can trust your car........
"You can trust your car to the man who wears the Star.... the bright red Texaco Star....!!! My first job was an attendant at Dad's Texaco station. The reason I'm pictured in a corn field is because Dad and I won the S.C. state corn contest for 1954 with a yield of 110 bushels per acre !!
Kingstree station
Bill's first Kingstree service station. Believe the name was " West End Service Station". The location was on highway 52 beside B.W. Baker's furniture store which was beside Black River as highway 52 from Charleston entered Kingstree.
