Thanks Jim for the help with the pictures! Yes Fina is correct a good friend found them out here on the West coast and was wondering if they were worth buying? I have never seen another one like them but I guess they have to grow on you... Always makes you wonder how they got over here from Europe? Any input about make or age would be great. Thanks

I know that Gilbarco made the 1000-series with that special cut out glass, and I talked to a guy who sent me a picture of his FINA-pump. Looked like a GB 1000, but he claimed it was a Southwest?!
These look a bit thinner that the GB's IMO.

Not European, these were made by Gilbert & Barker for Fina, to be used in the Southwest part of the US. 1958. Notice the '57 Chevy behind the pump.  Jack Sim Author, Gas Pump Identification book and Air Meter Identification book Need a gas pump manual? www.petrolianacollectibles.com

Here's the link to an old post about this. I am sure the pump I talk about abvove also is a Gilbarco, but the guy was so sure it was a Southwest mod 80...Claes http://www.oldgas.com/shoptalk/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002471.html

Any Fina Repro signs on the market?
I have been asked this (as well as BP) many many times for a couple of years now...

When I lived in California in the 1960's, I remember seeing some Fina stations.

I don't think there are any Fina stations left here in St. Louis, there were a number of them in the 1960s.
Fina stations can be found all over Europe.
