Does anyone have the story behind "Power Test" or Clearview Concrete Pipe?

I do believe Power Test was started by Leo Lebowitz in Jericho. Was an early unbranded gasoline marketer. He later acquired control of the Getty assets. The Russians -Lukoil -then purchased Getty but I think Lebowitz still owns a ton of stations. He has to be pushing 90 years old.

Englishtown is a great place to see nice Autocars.

Long before Chrysler launched its "Imported from Detroit" campaign...................

you had "Mack Trucks and Autocar - America's best, American-owned, American-made in Pennsylvania"

Holy crap!-Power Test. They had a station on Old Country Rd in Westbury in the 60's.
