Oh, I wish it was this price again

[Paul]

Found this old guy in front of a customers Garage Yesterday. I wish it was still that cheap. 17.9/gallon

No kidding. I wonder if it's been repainted. It looks new in this photo. Unless, it was the professional photography that brought out the best.

Nice image, Paul. Takes us back for sure to, well, long before I was born.

Some History on this pump, and house. This belonged to my customers Grand Parents, and was located at their orignal farm site in Sothern MN near Granite Falls. They are collectors of fine antiques and this was the only one I took a picture of. I would have felt odd to have taken pictures of the old antique trains and the gorgeous wurlitzer jukebox form the 30's all located in a beautiful Becker County Log Home.

I have sent the picture of the gas pump to the customer and they are going to put it on their wall I guess. GLad you guys liked it.

Nice shot Paul, oh to be paying that for gas again..

[Steve Foss]

Imagine the photo trips one could actually afford to take with gas at that price!

I wish I could say the same thing - the local gas station still used this when I was growing up!

With my Subaru, I could make the 2000 mile round trip to Moab for $14.40 at that price. I'd settle for that.

[Steve Foss]

And if we split the gas it'd be $7.20 apiece. Woo-hoo!

Nice shot Paul and I do remember during the gas wars in the early 70s when it was that price and I put a quarters worth in the tank so I could get to work in my VW.
