Its taken me several years to redo it, but I wanted to show off my Tokheim 39 pump. Its a 1947 Tokheim 39 LHR or Lowboy with internal hose reel. The first picture is as I got it.
I let my wife pick the brand. She likes horses, so she picked Mobil. So now its a Mobilgas Special pump
I removed the hose reel and pump mechanism. In their place, I installed a small TV and cable box.
We reworked the back room in our house in a 50's gas station/diner theme. Its not quite done, but getting there.
I have an Eco Islander that I hope to restore soon and it will go to the left of the pump. Coke cooler is a reproduction.
The ceiling in the room has a Fiberstars fiber optic star kit. I painted the ceiling black with some accent colors, trying to make it look like a nighttime sky. The pictures don't show it too well, but it gives a unique appearance to the room.
I made a valence around the room using powdercoated aluminum and polished stainless steel. When the star lights come on, an electro luminescent wire glows giving the appearance of neon lighting.
We also have a Wurlitzer jukebox and coin scale in the room.
I still have to install a stainless countertop and get the Islander done, but I'm pretty happy with the room so far.
