Hello All,

Does anyone have any pics to share of original or restored Green Streak gas pumps (even black and white pics)? I would love to see. Online searches don't show very. Thanks, Andrew

Thank you very much!! I am restoring 3 G&B T-176's. Super Shell, Shell and Green Streak. I love seeing Green Streak pics. I have never seen any. Was Green Streak the cheaper discount Shell gas????

i picked an original wayne 60 once with GS pump plates and it was painted green instead of yellow, maybe jobbers choice instead of yellow?

How interesting. I realize pumps were painted many many ways and basically any yellow and red would be appropriate, but I am happy to see the consensus of how the Green Streaks were "MOSTLYL" painted. Thanks to all who have been sharing. Oldgas is such an amazing community!!

Jobbers and station owners did not always follow what the oil companies wanted. I have a Wayne 40 that was Shell from day one. From the factory it was Shell yellow-orange with a red top and base. It was missing the doors when I got it but suspect it was Green Streak because during one of its repaints the visi and base were green. Here are pictures from a sign and painting Shell manual from the 30`s .

It is an original piece. I do have another that is a little different from the same time period. This one is the better of the two.
