He has a glass-cylinder pump on the right as well as two flow-meter pumps on the island.

Scott Johnson posted three photos with the comment: "Still standing in Trussville, Alabama. Only now it's a museum."
Russell Wells: Yeah - conflicting Standard Oils. Alabama was Kentucky Standard (neon sign in the third picture) - torch & oval in that state was Amoco/American.
Eddie Vidrine: Russell Wells Private collector can display what he likes. No conflict for me. I just want to take a tour !
[Indeed, it is a museum rather than a preservation. And another comment pointed out that you want the SYSO neon sign safely inside.]

Originally, the building was a Gulf station built in the late 1950s.

"The station was transformed to a Standard Oil Service Station and remains original down to the water fountain and restrooms. Today the building is Classic Cars and Garage Museum hosting a private collection of cars and collectables. The collectables range from gas and oil to Coca-Cola memorabilia."

I could not reconcile some interior shots with what we see on the outside. Then I learned that the museum also uses the building behind the station.
