Isn't driving the Caddy on local roads or in towns/cities a bit TIGHT ?

Petroman:

Great looking stuff!

Does your GB 96 have lockable doors on it? It appears there's a lock cylinder on the left side of the door? If so is it original?

Just wondering.......

Your garage is fantastic? I love the truck and your pumps!! Dave Folck

I reply to some questions still unanswered.

@ oldnfuelish: many thanks, the Caddy it's a '66 Coupe de Ville.

@ Jack Simh: you are right, the hold in the middle of the door it was for a hand crank just in case the electric went out. Here almost all pumps have it.

@ snomis1950: many thanks Sam, I am a true nostalgic like all you guys. Probably you have been in Monza for car racing!

@ Dick Bennett: this can happen in the old side of towns/cities but not in the most of the rest of external streets. Sure, there are secondaries tight streets in mountain or little villages but we have enough others for get fun. I post some pictures for show you took previous saturday during a little cruise in the neighbours. I hope is not too o/t...

@ Philip: many thanks, yes all GB 96 have lockable doors on it and the lock cylinder on the left side of the door is original.

@ tallgye49: many thanks Dave, the pickup is a '51 F-1 Ford deluxe cab with its original V8 Flathead :-)

at both sides fields of corn...

Where Alps begin

No Jason, this one...

First a big WELCOME to Old Gas. Nice collection of petro stuff & cars. Thanks for sharing it with us

Enrico, I like your truck!! Are there many American cars and trucks in Italy? Your pumps are very nice also.

@ gasoildude: thanks a lot for your welcome, it's a true pleasure be with you all talking of our passions.

@ MATT ALVAREZ: Matt, me too I like a lot your trucks and pumps, you have a lot of very beautiful computer models. American classics cars and trucks in Italy are not visibles on streets but there are enthusiasts and collectors that have many in their garages. However they are not very commons.

Thanks
Enrico

Petroman: That's interesting on the locks. I have 3 GB 96's and none of them have locks on the doors. Maybe it's a foreign pump thing???

Anyone else have any input on this?

Thanks!

PS Jack S. I noticed the hole in the door too. LOL

A friend of mine has a gilbarco 96 with locking doors and there is a pair of 96s still on the island in Carmel Valley Ca. with locking doors.
