One of my earliest service station memories was getting out of the car and hearing the several bells going off from the computers and asking my mom for change to put in the Sinclair Dinosaur Machine...it would make plastic dinosaurs while you waited,,they were still warm when you got back in the car.
MMMMMMM....Dinosaur

Come to think of it...anyone younger than me missed out on all this...once the 70's came most stuff wasn't the same...I just barely caught the tail end of the "BIG SHOW". I guess I should be gratefull and consider myself lucky to have lived in a time when the customer was "King", instead of just another # now.

Remember the Esso Tiger tails for your gascap?? The Gulf horseshoes stickers?? I have a record album of Southwest Conference Fight songs which was a premium from a gas station in the early 60's..i grew up listening to that damn record and now 45 years later i still have the AGGIE FIGHT SONG and the UT FIGHT SONG burned on my brain!!
