    New gas station

    I believe this was the work of our towns conservation society.
    Nobody was working to ask. Any way just thought it was neat.

    That's more than neat - it is like stepping back in time to my childhood. I do hope that it is a working gas station rather than just for show.

    Regards

    Oh, look at that - no tens digit on the amount of sale, and no dollar digit on the price!

    Good Lord!! I used to have a Gulf credit card. One of my early childhood memories is the Mobil flying red horse. Thought that was so cool when we stopped for gas.

    George, come on! Nothing that old would look so good if it wasn't new.

    .42/gallon... oh that it could be so again, eh. Although I remember a "gas war" during my college days when the price between two stations went to .19/gal.
    Thanks for sharing the pics!
