Reighard's used to have a cool neon sign that proclaimed it "America's Oldest Gas Station," but that appears to have been replaced by a simple billboard proclaiming the same thing. There's also an "America's Oldest Gas Station" display sign on the outside wall of the station building. But it doesn't look like an old gas station, and its claim is disputed by a better-documented 1913 gas station in Pittsburgh.
