I kept looking for a couple of stations that were near my home.  Kids loved that stretched bell hose too as they would stomp on it whenever possible.

Thank you John. Brings back many memories. I remember the freebies. I still have a steak knife from a Shell gas station.

This clip was great John; thanks!  I have such wonderful memories of working in service stations as a kid, plus the sounds and smells of the shop; I just loved it.  It was a really important part of my youth in hindsight and I learned a lot about cars and car repair as well.
