He did say freebie... igohigh was talking about the price per gallon. My guess for that vintage pump would be about $0.30 or less.

Probably over the weekend. Going to have a couple versions. Sinclair (as shown), Texaco and maybe another. Giving my site a minor face lift as well.

I remember when my dad used to pull his black 64 VW Bug up to one of those pumps and get $1 worth. These days that wouldn't even get you to the next stationn...

I remember seeing Sinclair gas for sale one Summer vacation in Utah, circa 1973, for $.32 a gallon. Beautiful and nostalgic prop, Duddly. I was hoping you'd keep doing Americana items. The "baby chicks" street scene was terrific.

At $1.55 i'd still fill my tank to the brim its about $5 or more a gallon here in the uk ;o).....Great model Duddly..Steve

This is beautiful!

I remember those ... beautiful work. The real thing easily sells for over $2000, incidentally.

It has been over $2/gallon here for a year or more! I'm not more than 20 miles from the Chrevron refinery but gas prices are not like milk prices which are calculated and subsidized according to the store's distance from Wisconsin. :sigh: Carolly

hauksdottir, Bob Bereskin, one of my old geology professors, remarked once how expensive gas prices were in Fresno considering how close we were to the refineries; At the time they were less than 30 cents a gallon. Dudley, I look forward to getting this neat looking prop. - TJ

Boy does that bring back memories. I remember getting a Sinclair dinosaur piggy bank and thinking it was the coolest toy ever. Couldn't have been maybe 3-4 years old at the time.
