Hello Everyone!

My brother has been super busy lately so I am taking over for him this month, and we both apologize that POTM is a few days late. Thank you all for great participation for last month. For this month I am going to change it up a bit to hopefully get a lot of participation! This months POTM is any and all showcase pumps. Showcase pumps are one of my favorite styles of pumps because of the unique and eye capturing designs. I unfortunately do not own a showcase pump yet, so here is a picture of my brothers Wayne 60S. I hope this month goes crazy with pictures!

Enjoy! Bring on the pumps!!!

This is my Wayne 50 showcase pump. It was originally a Firestone so decided to restore it as a Firestone. My good friend Don Sherwood offered it to me and I was able to buy it because of a recent sale of one of my trucks. I am very happy to have it in my collection. Here is the before and after.

These are my two, like Matt when I found the 50 the end panels for Firestone were on it and side panels were missing, the gulf globe was also on it as found. It was Matt that encouraged me to do the rusto on the 50. Thanks to an oldgas member the sides were found for the pump. One a rusto and the other restored when I did restorations way back when.

This 34 is not a showcase pump it is known as display pump. Tokheim also produced a 34 showcase pump. This is all I have to contribute for now.

Thanks,
Rob

Love the look. Three Step base, all there. If I could afford it is on my list.

Thanks Les,
The other thing that is kind of unique about this one is the visi is shorter than all my other 34 pumps. I wonder if this is factory? I can’t think of a good reason why someone would modify it.
