Daniel's Oil Company - Pontiac, Illinois, USA. - Murals on Waymarking.com

In this back lane, the rear entrances to businesses are now the fake front entrances to a Gas Station that one might have seen during the heyday of Route 66.
This one depicts an Daniels Oil Company, with two old gas pumps a mechanic working underneath a Pontiac car, and a customer waiting, for his car to be fixed.

The Daniels Oil Co. Mural
"This mural was painted by Diaz Sign Art in the summer of 2010. It is painted on the rear exposures of two downtown stores and depicts the Daniels Oil gas and service station which was once located in downtown Pontiac near the Vermilion River at the corner of Water and Mill Streets. The mural recalls a time in the past when gas stations provided full service to their customers and were a place to gather all of the community news and gossip" Text Source: (visit link)
