Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Neat footage from the late 1930s...

At the beginning of this video there is footage of a tire company as well as an Esso station and later on an Atlantic and Pennzoil station. Note at the beginning in the footage of the tire shop there is a mechanical Goodrich display in the window that bounces up and down, pretty cool! I know Youtube is a rabbit hole, but I've watched other videos from this channel and have seen some really great period gas station footage, and of course there is advertising everywhere that we'd give our right hand for today!

Ahh, very refreshing to watch what appears to be a happy and simpler era. Wonder what the occasion was for filming. All the specators seem bemused by the camera and came out of the shops to be on camera. No selfies back then! Thanks fopr the post. Bob

You sure can see the difference in our diet between then and now I only saw a few Hefty people in the film .

That is really really great. Love the pumps, cars , people and the way of life. Just unbelievable, Many thanks.

A real treat to take a glimpse into the past and way of life. Thank you for sharing!!!
