As the name suggests, Duck Slattery's Gas Station in South Ward Road was decked out with old American gas station paraphernalia - petrol pumps, vehicle parts, nameplates, oil adverts etc.
I took these snaps in the mid 80's and they show the exterior and interior of the pub.
It's main feature, however, was the front half of a Cadillac hanging on the inside wall above the entrance, as if it had just crashed through the brickwork!
The manager was Jeff Currie and the owner was Alex Brown.
The advert underneath the snaps was published the day before the pub officially opened, which was 13 March 1986.
Later in April that year, they installed the first ever satellite dish in Dundee, and so the pub would show a variety of programmes such as Italian football & American music channels.
The other ad, dating from August 1986, gives a fuller description of the place.
Appropriately, Duck's was a popular stop-off place to get tanked up before hitting Fat Sams next door.
