That Gilmore truck is badass..........................

I think these ESSO pumps are from the '40s but not sure. I have a set of the milked glass from one of them and the frame for them. The frame has a base for a globe.

Hometown Station where my Father and Father-in-law both worked when they were teenagers.

cool old place by my old house! I would love to own something like this!

Very nice.
Do you know if those pumps are for sale?

No I don't MR70 I have gone past there many times and never have seen anyone there! I thought the same thing though!

Look like Gilbarco Calcumeters….Joe

Maybe this B/W has been posted before, but filler-up anyway with the highest octane you have.

Dated April 1962.

Around 1977 working at my friends dad’s Chevron station on Van Nuys Blvd.
This was THE primo job back in my high school days.
We’d always work the Wednesday evening shift, I’d tell my folks that I had to work late that night, and then after the station closed at 9 we would go cruise Van Nuys Blvd till midnight.
Awesome times!

My first paying job in 1977-78, was working "under the table" for cash at the 'Hoxie' Mobil gas station at Harbor and Ball by Disneyland...or their other gas station at Harbor and Vermont Ave in Anaheim ( a few blocks away).



The Hoxie's were very racist, which lead to some interesting times...if I was working at the same time as the Hoxie's. Luckily, that wasn't often.


I took full advantage of the lifts at the station to clean the underside of my Nova...and like Tuna Joe above...once done with work I would cruise either the Orange Mall on Lincoln in Orange, Angelo's on State College-or occasionally Whittier Blvd.


I worked there for about 3 months then quit :grin:

I don't have any photos to post, but during the summer months when home from college I worked at my local Gulf service station. This would have been 1970-73. I usually worked the late afternoon to evening shift and was responsible for closing the station at night. This was back when there were true service stations, not like today where they just sell gas and have a full convenience store.
We sold propane, white gas, kerosine, ice, worms for fishing, inner tubes for use in swimming, and probably things I can't remember in addition to the 3 grades of Gulf gas. Boy I loved the smell of the gas back then. There was one pop machine, bright red and all metal and heavy. We gave away Blue Chip stamps with gas purchases.
There was one lift and we did minor servicing and repair, both car and tire inner tube. I don't remember doing any tire repair only inner tubes. It was always nice when a good looking young lady came in; washing the windshield always took a bit longer then. I did enjoy those days working at Smokey's Gulf Station.

Old meets new. :)
