Back in the seventh grade my mom bought me a "wind breaker" with a Ford Mustang patch over a racing stripe. I thought having a patch on my jacket was the coolest thing ever. We dealt with a Gulf station that had the "put it on my tab" when you were low on money and we kids did a huge amount of buying candy, soda, and always needing tube repair kits and using the Eco air meter to fill tires. The owner gave me a Gulf patch to go below the Mustang and a big patch for the back of my jacket. Next thing I knew the jacket was covered with patches front and back.
About 14 years ago I found a Gulf five quart can in an antique mall. I don't remember ever seeing a five quart can before, and between the memories of the Gulf station back home and my newly aquired can, I was hooked. Brady
