There`s a bunch of them. Go to Amazon, and search "gas station back drop"
"Route 66" and "filling station" bring up good results too.

Give any thought to finding a local artist to paint exactly what you want? Just a thought. A "starving" artist might be a cost effective option!

There is a good idea, or how about you give it a whirl yourself. You can always paint over it.

I was in a military museum in the UK some years ago, as a back drop they had trench warfare scenes that were fairly simple but very effective. Thought about doing this for my own collection but chose paneling instead with commissioned paintings. I think a moderately artistic person could pull off a pro job with some patience.
