This pump uses an interesting system to latch the doors, yes, the knobs are for door entry. You seldom see this pump back east. After I haul several more of them home from Seth's, Indiana should be well stocked. Tom.

Its a nice pump. I had one once, completly gutted, and restuffed with a tv & dvd player. A friend of mine saw it, and HAD to have it. It looks good in his garage, done up in Sinclair colors.

Like I said...Capone running from the law! Good thing that gas station attendant was quick on his feet and hid behind that pump when Capone and his gang drove through....Whew that was a close call!
