I got bitten by the gas pump bug while living with a friend earlier this year when moving to Socal. I had to have one so I bought a M&S 80 that was already restored. Then I stumbled onto a Bennett 541 that was painted but not completed. I just finished it and much to my wife's dismay, I now have 2 gas pumps in our living room. I also purchased 2 Wayne 60's, one of which is a clockface. I need to restore those and will post pics later as I want all of your opinions on the faded decal on one. What do you think of my first pump? The Slama Globe really tops it off well I think. And as my son tells my wife, "Mom its like art and history"  By thelindquists , shot with DSC-H5 at 2008-10-07  By thelindquists , shot with DSC-H5 at 2008-10-07  By thelindquists , shot with DSC-H5 at 2008-10-07

Too cool. Two beautiful pumps for sure. I'm excited to see how the 60's will turn out.

Welcome to the site. How come you can't get your buddy Chris Farmer to post? I heard he had a new GM guy staying with him that got hooked on pumps. I'm the one Chris called about the M&S 80 in your pic. Happy pump finding. Ted  ------------------ Ted Pam & Ethyl Roach Lodi CA. Looking for Signal, Hancock, Mohawk, Douglas, Gilmore and Richfield

That Gilmore station almost looks too good to be outside in the weather. It looks like a museum piece. Sweet!

Don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but is there a writeup or website somewhere describing that Gilmore station?
It is just Waaay Cooool!

Oldnfuelish. you just have to do a little kissing up. I had to do that, keep the colors toned down, try to make it blend. and when there not looking, sneak it in and add some neon   [This message has been edited by mobil100 (edited 10-12-2008).]

DP & loftbed- that replica Gilmore station is pretty much a museum piece. It is located in the Farmers Market/Grove shopping complex in Los Angeles. Which is still owned by the AF Gilmore company. Here is an old oldgas thread where a member took some photos, not to long after it was released I believe... http://www.oldgas.com/shoptalk/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000481.html Farmers Market/Gilmore Island history... http://www.farmersmarketla.com/history/index.html Check out the slide show on the left.

That Gilmore story is classic American. I was just thinking how many government regulations would have to be overcome today to do something similar. The station is really nice. I hope to be building a new home complete with a 4 car garage, and my own gas pumps from the time I remember.
Antique? It's new to me.

I thought it might be restored original building and equipment. That shows how little I know. It still looks great, though.
