Default Memories

The Years: 1960-1963
The Place: Webster's Gulf Station Chesapeake Virginia
The Product: Gulf NoKnox, Good Gulf and Gulftane
The man on the pump: That would be a handsome 15 year old kid selling Gulftane for 29.9 per gal. Worked at that station all they way through high school. May have even put some gas in Frankie the Finks pill wagon?
Hay man give that helper a nice gift for her hard work on a great looking sign.: thumbs:

Nice idea I love the old gas signs and gasoline pumps. They really give the garage that period correct look.

Great job. I'm just finishing a wind mill tower. Now I gots to have a sign. Forgot about the local vinyl printing shop. Most of the large signs are a grand plus .. and beat up. The mig welder is getting to be my best friend. Thanks for the great idea !
