Welcome to oldgas. Looks like ya got some pretty cool stuff.

If you don't mind a little more critique, your site is VERY wordy. I'm a bullet point kind of guy which most websites accommodate that with links to more information if so desired.
Also, only having stuff on 1/3 of the page with the left and right sides blank should be addressed as the scrolling got old.

I'm addressing the visibility issue asap.
I'm restricted to my low budget website building program thru godaddy so the only using 1/3 of the screen thing really annoys me too, but I have no choice.
I am ultra-super small and trying to build something great starting with a less than a broken shoestring kinda budget, so please don't be turned away by my lack of professionalism at this point of my 'upstart'. I'm really trying to get more and better items in here and feel like I've not done too bad so far with the items that I've acquired. As time goes by, if there is some sucess, I will be upgrading every aspect of the shoppe to make sure things are able to progress and grow to suit the needs of the people that want these items, if anybody does?!??
I know I'm also kinda wordy, but it's me and I would rather let the potential customer know as much as possible.
Most potential customers do not know even a quarter of what all of you folks on here do, and they usually have never seen anything like some of these things. (Hell, I personally have never even seen a visible or a gas pump with a sightglass and spinner, working and dispensing gas or any fluid.) They have a varacious curiosity, like that of a child, and most of the time, they want to know as much as possible about a item that has caught thier eye. I love researching and finding out the history of each item I can!
So, it all comes down to how do I make everybody happy with what I'm doing? I can't look at it that way because it will blow up my head and ruin any chance I have at making this sucessful.
I will try my best to find and recover long burried and looked over Americana items and further I will also do my best to pass them on, at a reasonable cost or trade, to a party that will appreciate them and do thier best to respect thier historical value and relativity. The Amazing people of our Great country Makes amazing things and used to make a whole bunch more amazing things and it's a bunch of fun to be able to do this and that is some of the why I hope to be able to continue doing this!
Thanx to all of You that have taken the time to check out what I'm trying to do, and I will always welcome constructive criticizm from anyone of ya on here!!! Take care and drive/ride safe!
