Hello, my name is Jean-Paul. I live in France near Paris. I own a '67 Mustang and my wife has a '81 Sheriff Mustang. (I'm not sure it is the good subject to present myself)
Last year I made the Route66 trip from Chicago to L.A. and since that I fall in love with all these old things.
Recently I bought a french SATAM gas pump from 1959 and a Tokheim 448 from 1961. I've many questions about the Tokheim model, but I keep them for an other day !

Jean Paul, Welcome. Having traveled Old Route 66 as well, it can bring out the collector hidden away in just about anyone. Glad you like the good stuff. There are quite a few collectors of Gas/Oil in England,Europe and as of late, New Zealand and Austrailia. It's a fun hobby. Good luck with your searches. Best regards, Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Welcome to oldgas Jean-Paul.

Looks like we have a few things in common. Gas and oil collecter, Rt. 66 enthusiast, and Mustang owner.

Welcome to Oldgas.com Shop Talk, Jean-Paul.
I share your interest in old gas pumps, Route 66 and Mustangs. I've seen parts of Route 66 and hope to do more in the coming years. Here is a picture of my 67 Mustang convertible. Notice the license plate.
