former station
Colorado Springs, CO
This former station is well-concealed behind vehicles but I'm including it since double canopies are so rare. In 1960, this was known as Courthouse Chevron Service. [map]

former Champlin station
Colorado Springs, CO
This former Champlin station may have been built in 1971. It housed a used car dealershi until around 2014 when it began housing the Canna Meds Wellness Center. [map]

Although the stations below were built using a Phillips 66 "batwing" design, they were all branded as Sinclair stations originally. I believe they were also branded as Sinclair stations in Wyoming as well.

2022:
This former Sinclair station last houses Ed's Auto Service. The shingled canopy addition was probably added in the early 1970s. The shingles were replaced with metal in 2014. The building appeared to be vacant in 2017. In 2020, there was construction work going on. The service bays are hidden behind a new structure. It appears that the canopy and office will remain. The property is surrounded with chain link fencing and appears to be used for storage now. [map]
