Dan Lambert opened his Standard Oil location along historic Route 66 in 1957. We believe this to be the oldest, continuously operating gas station on Route 66 anywhere in the country and certainly by a single family. Today, Lambert 1957 Mobil has recently gone through an extensive remodel inside and out, and have incorporated many of the 50s 60s and 70s on the inside of the location. This includes a corner section of giant photos on the walls from the 1950s through today. The Lambert Family also built a small replica of their father's original 1957 Standard Oil Station inside the location.
