Built in 1915 by Allen Threatt, Sr., it was one of the only Black-owned service stations along the Mother Road during segregation. For many travelers, it wasn’t just a place to refuel — it was a safe haven. We recently had the privilege of interviewing grandsons Allen, III and Ed Threatt, who shared stories about their grandfather’s vision and the i

Ask any Black road tripper who traveled along Oklahoma’s stretch of Route 66 back in the day, and they’ll know all about Threatt Filling Station. As the first Black-owned service station along Mother Road, it offered up gas, produce, overnight parking, AND a safe gathering place for Black travelers. I loved chatting with Ed Threatt and Rev. Allen Threatt III about the station’s history as well as plans for its re-opening just in time for Route 66’s Centennial Anniversary! Meet Ed, Rev. Allen Thr

I was introduced to Ed Threatt, proprietor of the Threatt Filling Station in Luther, Oklahoma, by Rhys Martin President of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, approximately one year ago. Ed was seeking assistance in locating gas pumps similar to those that once stood at the Threatt Filling Station on Historic Route 66 in Luther, Oklahoma. I had two vintage pumps at Gasoline Alley Classics that met the criteria. I enlisted the assistance of my friend Mark Battenfield and his team at Battman Collis
