NICE gas pump collection!
Thanks. The gas pumps really dress up the garage.

The Phillips 66 is a Gilbarco but from the mid 50's
The Texaco in the garage is a 1937 Gilbarco (Gilbert and Barker)
The one with the Mobil Pegasus globe is a repro of a 1920's era Martin& Schwartz made by Petroleum Artifacts out of Tulsa, Ok. It actually has a lighted display case I put some 1/12 scale Corvettes in.

I've also got an original 1940's era Ecco "Tireflator" air meter. It still works if I hook it up to the air compressor.

Love the look of those lights. What kind of bracket system did you use?

Sold the 68 last month, this is what was on it.



The 70 has a USA-1 plate.

Thanks! They're Hela Optilux Driving Lights. I got them from Summit Racing and connected to the metal bumper brackets...they look like it came with the Vette.

'68 in pits at MAR in 1980. I left it off from shortly after I got it in '77 and never had a problem in Illinois.



Still no front plate. But then, Florida doesn't require one.
