16 Feb 08 - Welcome to the vintage gas pumps group! If you have been around for any length of time, as I have been, there is nothing like seeing one of these vanishing marvels to bring back the nostalgic memories of those first days when we began cruising our nation's highways, and our hometown's streets. Please take a moment to browse our pictures and see if anything triggers a sweet memory of the day you first got pop to lend you the car for that first date...or that first drive into town on your own!

Introductions : tell us a bit about your first ride, your first days of "freedom" out on the roads. The year this happened and the price of gas at the time. road_less_trvled 1 45 months ago

About When Gas Was Cheap: Old Gas Pumps

Remember the days when petrol, gasoline was pennies a gallon? We all can relate to this. If you find, as I occasionally do, an old gas pump rotting away, or even ones that have been lovingly restored, this is the place to post them. We would love to have images that still show the price of gas displayed, but any old vintage pumps will do.

Show us your finds. Lets discuss the time periods they remind us of. The rods we drove in the good old days. Also if you have vintage photographs of gas stations or people pumping gas back in the way-day, show us those as well.
