Hello Chris, send me a line and your phone number to my email: anthony_montano@hotmail.com. I visted a few classic car yards when I was there at Ft hood in April. I may have visted your place. I plan on heading back there in late October. Maybe I can drop by.

Actually, Southwest pumps in Texas wern't all that rare back in the 70's and 80's . I would see them all over . Martin & Swartz model 70's were common with Mobil franchises too......... That was then , now is well, tomorrow ! Ed Shaver

Thanks Ed, not sure why they're rare now, maybe because they were maybe used mainly in Texas, parts are scarce, even pics on the internet are scarce as compared to the other pump models. I just love them, very nice Art Deco look.

Yes, Thanks for the info on the other southwest pumps. I contacted Greg and I am buying the parts pump. I am going to make it into a oil can stand, cut it about in half in height, with a globe sign and overhanging lamp, and using "Polly Motor Oil" flat sign in a globe housing and using "Polly Motor Oil" decals on the front and rear removable panels. The decals and paint (black, green, orange, yello) will match my other two pumps. I'll post pics when it gets done (month or two)

Beautiful job on Southwest pumps.
Black hawk helicopter good way to spot signs and pumps from the air to look down in peoples back yards and off the beatin path. Cover a lot ground that way.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and supporting my military service (going on 23 years in military). Yes, the Blackhawk is more fun, however wonder if I could photoshop the Blackhawk getting refuel from the Polly Pumps, hmmm??? Can't wait to get started on the oil can stand. I will post pics.

WOW!! Your pumps are outstanding. I, myself looked for many years before finding an 812, which was in Michigan. I finished restoration on mine-Polly also-last year. The 812 has great art deco silhouette and atyling.
