An interesting recent find, here in New Zealand, was this Minolta 7000 AF Maxxum featuring the crossed X's in the Maxxum logo.
The Maxxum branding was just for the US market - other countries the camera was known as the 7000 AF or Dynax 7000. Given the history behind this crossed X camera, I was most surprised at finding one in NZ.
When this camera launched in early 1985, it featured this new crossed X Maxxum logo, however the oil giant Exxon also used this crossed X in their logo and went on to take legal action against copyright with Minolta.
A settlement was reached and Minolta was allowed to sell the last units already produced with the crossed X logo but had to redesign their Maxxum logo which went on to feature two standard X's.
It was very much just the first production run of these cameras that had the crossed X logo, so a rarity value to these and even more so here possibly as this was the branding for the US!
Happily, this one seems to be in good working order and may no doubt be put to use again!

It was a beautiful day. I really didn't have a destination planned for that night. Just take a drive. The Interstate had grown tiresome so I exited at Cuba, New York so that I could look for something interesting to photograph. My Malibu had other plans.
Just as I reached the end of the exit ramp I (a) had obviously run over something and (b) my tire was very unhappy about it and had decided to deflate. This Exxon station was open and busy. Fortunately they had the correct tire in stock. That's my blue Malibu jacked up next to The Famous Cuba Cheese Shoppe truck. Took an hour or so to get out of there.
2391 U.S. Rt. 66.
Opened by Canuto "Newt" Sanchez in 1967 as Newt's American Service. Newt and his wife Beverly had purchased the next door Plains Motel in 1966. After American/Amoco left New Mexico in 1974, Newt switched to Exxon in 1975. Closed in the 1980s or 1990s--not sure which. I ran into Newt while I was shooting this and got most of this info (everything except the closing date) from him.

Put a tiger in your tank!* - Part 1
This VW Type 2 T1 “canvas” pick-up was registered in 1956 in The Netherlands.
It was used by the M.v. Noord, a little company based in Amstelveen (close to Amsterdam) that sold and delivered petroleum for domestic heating.
Pieter Grabijn, grandchild of the first owner, found it in a barn few years ago. It was totally rusty. Peter restored the red pick up entirely and now the machine looks really appealing.
I built the LEGO replica of this T1, based on my previous Road Service T1 but with a different livery.
Canvas stitching technique is the same I've used before but this T1 has both the right side and the back side of the canvas rolled up.
The tarpaulin is also a little bit lower. Ready to be delivered petroleum jerry cans are located on the load compartment. The license plate is an old Dutch one: PV 88 17.
The writing on the load compartment sides means "Esso petroleum for your domestic heating" (It's written in Dutch).
*If you were born in the seventies, then you remember the famous slogan of the Tiger ...

The Exxon Building (and the two other buildings west of the Avenue of the Americas) were developed by the Rockefellers in the 1960s for an expansion of Rockefeller City. They were designed by Harrison and Abramovitz.
Stumbled across this abandoned Exxon Station in Harriman, Tennessee a couple of weeks ago and couldn't pass up taking a photo. It appears that it might be used as a storage location but definitely not a service station anymore...
The "Happy Motoring" slogan is also one that has not been used in many years but I remember seeing it a little as a kid. Even then (late 70's & early 80's), it was on it's way out having been replaced with newer slogans...
This is definitely a small piece of American history tucked away in small town U.S.A.!!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Bought the cowboy late last year... Decided to build him a ride. Couldn't decide between this car or the Main Street yellow car ...Went with this instead because the back can fit another minifig... So I can add a passenger next time... :D
Very cool old Exxon Gas Pump located south of Cookeville, TN. It is sitting next to an old barn...I can image a farmer, back in the day, pulling his tractor or whatever piece of equipment up here and filling up to head back to the field.
This image is an HDR created from three photos taken at -2, 0, +2 EV. It was then processed to create an old "lomo" look with the vignette, etc.
