I bought this guy at the Ventura Flea Market along with the two Mcihelin Men, but don't know if he's a Mcihelin guy or some other tire brand. Would like some help if you know his story. The Michelin guys are made in France and have 220v lights and plugs, but this guy doesn't light up. He has a bracket like the Michelin guys for mounting on something too. Thanks for your help.

Hello Curt,
Hope all is well for you and your family. I do not know the answer to your question but I do like that tire man. Did you see any pumps at the Ventura Swapmeet? I have never been there.

Rob

Ps did you finish restoring my old Tokheim?
Sorry I do not have an E-mail right now.

Rob

Hey Rob,
No email? How can that be?

No pumps at the Ventura Flea Market and I have never seen any there in the 5 or so years that I have been going. Don't know if you could sell them there. This is sort of a shabby chic womens kind of event, but there are a lot of bored husbands and boy friends there so you never know.

Here's my texaco station with your Tok 300 (Skychief) and the Can Rack from Dick Bennet. Not quite finished assembling the pump but it shows nice on the island.



Can rack came out nice too (thanks Dick) but I need a better sign than the repop.

Curt,
The pump and rack look great,nice work!! I am glad you decided to paint the pump the way you wanted to instead of the stock colors.

Take care,
Rob

Got a lot of funny answers but nobody has been able to tell me what tire brand the guy driving is advertising. I even emailed the Cheese through his web site and still don't have an answer. So before I send out the milk cartons here are some bigger photos.


Someone has to know this guy.
