I always wanted one of these Cities globes with the "CREW-LEVICK" designation and was lucky enough to snag this one from Scott Benjamin. He told me that they are usually a cast lens and he has only ever seen 2 of these globes with the all glass lenses! Its in super shape too with absolutely no chips or scratches! My Cities Service globe collection keeps growing but its a long road to collecting all of them! I doubt if I'll ever make it but it will be fun trying! Enjoy!!

After searching for one of these signs for a while- I finally found a decent one- Traded a pump for this sign with a local fellow old gas member- It's not Perfect- but it's the best one I have found in the area so far and I like it! Enjoy!

Dale,
I can get a pic of the impala, not mine it is the guy whom I purchased the restored pumps from- all I can say is that it is a bubble top? has a blower and supercharger and I guess is putting out about 800 horseys- he is a bodyman /restorer and it is so nice i would have no issues licking the frame!

Here's my buy of the week for this past week! I stumbled across and obtained this 60" x 108" right facing Mobil Pegasus T-58 cookie cutter! She's going to look great in my shop, just don't know where I'm going to hang her yet.

Happy hunting everyone!!!
