I am not sure how old the sign is, but I can say I bought gas here when I was going to college in Kansas City. I lived in Creve Coeur, MO at the time.
The sign was painted and had bright white lights to make it stand out. For the 50s it was a huge truck stop and restaurant.
The only this remaining is the sign. Notice the gas price slots (and yes, they were hand changed. Some one had to climb up ther to change the price with big metal signs for numbers.)
Sign reads:
KING
GAS ! DIESEL
