Take a trip down memory lane. If I get the hyperlink correct click and view old gas stations. Some neat old cars and one station offering "Corn alcohol at a 10% blend.

If it does not work my apologies, at least I tried.

Thanks for the link.Those photos bring back memories of the days when a service station was really a full service station.Today you are lucky to get a grunt, let alone a thank you from the lazy clerk collecting your money.

That is some neat photos . I looked at the one with the 10% "Corn alcohol" blend, on the bottom left, dated 4/11/33..that's either some "OGs, or government men" standing there in those long coats....

Only 2 stations have the ppg posted.

I wonder if that is one of the first Little America truck stops in one of the pics?

Takes me back to 1967-68 when I was in my last years of high school and had an after school job at a Sunoco station.

Yeah, I pumped gas, checked oil, cleaned windshields and checked air in tires whenever someone would stop for a fill up. If they only bought $5 of gas, they only got their windshield cleaned. If they only bought $1 worth, they just got the gas pumped.

I remember setting our pumps to 15 cents/gal once during a weekend.

The highlight of my time working there was when the local jewelry store owner would bring his red '67 Corvette 427 Tri-Power four speed convertible in for service and wash. My coworkers and I would almost come to blows deciding who would deliver it back to him!

Corn alcohol blend has been around for a lot longer than most people may think. The cars in the photo look to be late 30's.

Oh 2 Fun

GREAT stuff there!! Back when servicing a car was a big deal.

I too remember The Bomber as a kid when it was still intact. The cockpit is off currently awaiting a restoration. It was special to me because my Dad was a waist gunner in one in Italy.

Sure are some very desirable cars in these pics!!

Thanks for linking!
