Inside, Jeff has reassembled a vintage porcelain panel Pure Gas station complete with pumps and a nice collection of Pure memorabilia. He restores old gas pumps, soda machines, pedal cars and other vintage items with style and craftsmanship. Jeff's uncle Jerry runs Pete and Jakes Hot Rod Parts out of the same building. He has assembled there perhaps the most extensive Oilzum memorabilia collection anywhere. He has a number of very historic one-of-a-kind mementos from the Oilzum company headquarters. ------------------ Jim "Oldgas" Potts Your host and moderator Jim "Oldgas" Potts Your host and moderator

I do have my eye on a few things I know about on some back roads. When you came from N.Y. on your trip over did you drive on route 302? I got a friend there with alot of good stuff, nothing for sale but a real neat place.
