No Gas

I can actually remember signs like this in the late 70's.

Located at Vinsetta's Garage in Berkley ( a suburb of detroit ) that first opened in 1919

I was small, but me too. I also recall that they had to alternate days. Odd numbered car licenses could get gas on odds days, evens on the even days.

That's cool! This does bring back the memories from the 70s. Something tells me these pumps are a bit older.
