I'm partial to Richfield. I like the eagle. I also like Pennzoil stuff & the Polarine pieces. I really don't have a favorite brand - I just like the gas-n-oil collectables.
Later . . .

Think of the question like this. If you were able tp pick a gas pump as your tomb stone which pump and brand would you pick?

I like the companies listed cause they have neat logos and mean a lot to me cause of family ties. Have to be A-38 pump with Signal add glass as the tombstone and a Richfield visible at the gate to the tomb and Texaco Tokheim 850 to the side. I guess all three are favorites and just like my 3 kids not going to choose a favorite as they are all different.
