The Last Clamshell Gas Station

Image Credit: Atlas Obscura

In the 1930s, a local distributor of Shell Oil built seven gas stations in Winston-Salem and one in Kernersville, North Carolina. Their unique clamshell shape acted as an advertisement and drew customers in. The last clamshell remains an icon of mid-century car culture and is now a museum run by Preservation North Carolina. Fortunately, because the last Shell is on the National Register of Historic Places, it will be preserved in perpetuity.
