The Cimarron Starlite Cruisers have been involved with the restoration of a 50's - 60’s gasoline service station that was located in Stillwater Oklahoma for many years. The old station has been moved to its new home in the Oklahoma Territorial Plaza in Perkins Oklahoma. The Territorial Plaza is located just east of the Stroud National Bank and can be entered from Hwy 177 at the Kinder/Wells Edition or just south of the Stroud National Bank is the main enterance. 

Bud’s Service Station moved from it’s original home of 504 West 6^th in Stillwater to it’s new home in the new Oklahoma Territorial Plaza in Perkins. Many folks have helped with the transition.  Dennis Beyl and company did the heavy work of moving the three bay station and securing it to the new concrete slab.  Dennis is amazing at the art of moving large structures.

A huge Thank You! goes to Bill and Virginia Sasser for their generous contribution, which made this entire project possible. A big thanks goes out to the many folks who have donated memorabilia for the decoration of Bud’s Service Station. The Cimarron Starlite Cruisers sincerely thank David Sasser for his vision, guidance and hard work  with the entire Oklahoma Territorial Plaza Project. 

Many folks have donated old station memorabilia, highway signs, oil company signs, gasoline pump, gearlube dispenser, canned oil, v-belts, signal lights which add to the 50's and 60's theme.

 The station houses the water pad’s manifold system and insulated mechanical room, which is a maze of plumbing and some very good engineering. In the mechanical room is a new Trane Heat and Air Conditioning System and a complete over haul of the station’s electrical system, as well as, the hot water heater for the restroom.  The old restrooms were completely overhauled making a new large handy cap access facility.  One of the old restrooms is now a small storage area. 

Along the entire base of the exterior of the station, a blue powder coated metal wanes coating application was installed by the Cimarron Starlite Cruisers Car Club.  Boy, did we have fun with this little project!

John Dragoo took on the position of construction superintendent and coordinated all of the work which had to be done in order to get the old station back to better than new condition.

The Cimarron Starlite Cruisers are working on the interior, which will be a work in progress for sometime to come.

The inside of the station, also received a wanes coating application along the entire base.  Black and white tiles were placed in the office  and restroom floors.  Some glass and panels had to be replaced and caulking applied around the floor and glass, which includes the large bay area overhead doors.
