Here are a couple of scale gasoline pumps that can be used photographically, or in the case of the old clear glass-topped pump, placed next to a displayed automobile model of about I/18 scale. The newer red Texaco Fire Chief pump is much bigger and stands about 9" or 10" inches tall. I got them a long time ago but they were very reasonably priced at, I believe, a Menard's Home Store around the holidays.

Thanks, Geoff ! Scale gasoline/petrol pumps are a good additional display piece, as automobiles and their fueling pumps are a natural part of what they need from week to week.

I also have a 1/18th scale gasoline pump with an old Buick dealership logo on it. These could be found at quite reasonable prices years ago at holiday sales at Menard's stores and the like.

Thanks ! I also have another 1/18 one with an "Oldsmobile" logo on it and obviously it can work generally or in an Oldsmobile diorama. They are all very nicely done.

That's a beautiful highway 61.  It's gorgeous in those two-tone colors.

Thanks ! It was one of the first Hudson Hornets that Highway 61 put out, I recall.

You can purchase 1/18 scale gas pumps at your local Hobby Lobby if you have one in your area. They usually have two or three on a peg board or a shelf where the model cars are. You can also get them online from Fairfield collectibles, they will have a much larger selection than Hobby Lobby has on the shelf.

@john3976 Those look great!

Gas pumps make up one of my 1/18 "sub-collections."   I think they're pretty cool too. 😎
