Self serve gas was around in 1965?

I think that there are still two states where it's illegal to fill your own tank.

Oregon is one, I think, and isn't the other a New England state? So maybe the guards protect against the non-caring, minimum-wage earning gas station attendant.

New Jersey is the other state.

I think you are correct, Randy. I'm blown away by the details on this model - amazing.

Filling own tank

That's interesting. Here in England you'd be hard pushed to find a gas station with an attendant offering to fuel your car. In fact you'd be pushing your car long before you found one!
